Deuteronomy 14:10-20

10 And whatever hath not fins and scales ye may not eat; it [is] unclean to you.

11 [Of] all clean birds ye shall eat.

12 But these [are they] of which ye shall not eat: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the ospray,

13 And the glede, and the kite, and the vultur after his kind,

14 And every raven after his kind,

15 And the owl, and the night-hawk, and the cuckow, and the hawk after his kind,

16 The little owl, and the great owl, and the swan,

17 And the pelican, and the gier-eagle, and the cormorant,

18 And the stork, and the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat.

19 And every creeping animal that flieth [is] unclean to you: they shall not be eaten.

20 [But of] all clean fowls ye may eat.
