Deuteronomy 14:10-20

10 and anything which hath not fins and scales ye do not eat; unclean it [is] to you.

11 `Any clean bird ye do eat;

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

13 and the glede, and the kite, and the vulture after its kind,

14 and every raven after its kind;

15 and the owl, and the night-hawk, and the cuckoo, and the hawk after its 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 its kind, and the lapwing, and the bat;

19 and every teeming thing which is flying, unclean it [is] to you; they are not eaten;

20 any clean fowl ye do eat.
