“You must treat all the crawling animals that live on the dirt as disgusting things that you must not eat.
“These small animals are unclean for you: moles, mice, all kinds of great lizards,
“But stay away from all the other insects that have wings and crawl.
“Don’t eat insects that have wings and crawl. Even the thought of eating them should make you sick!
Then God said, “Let the water be filled with many living things, and let there be birds to fly in the air over the earth.”
Every living thing on earth died—every man and woman, every bird, and every kind of animal. All the many kinds of animals and all the things that crawl on the ground died. Every living, breathing thing on dry land died.
You must not eat any of the reptiles that crawl on their bellies or that walk on all four feet or that have many feet. Don’t eat these animals!
