BRAGADAYJAH 315

With regard to the birds, the Lord starts off by pointing out what should not be eaten among them, being abomination and were not to be eaten: the eagle, the ossifrage, the osprey, the kite or vulture, the falcon, the ostrich, the hawk, including the night hawk, the sea gull, the white owl, the cormorant, the horned owl, the swan, the pelican, the eagle, the stork, the heron, the hoopoe, the lapwing and the bat.  All these winged creatures were listed by God as abomination, and not to be eaten.

          With regard to winged insects, there was also a list: all winged insects going upon all four and have legs above their feet. Which they use to leap upon the earth, could be eaten, including the locust, the bald locust, the beetle and the grasshopper; but all other winged insects which have four feet shall be an abomination unto you.

          And if at any time any unclean insect of bird be touched, even the carcass of any of them, you shall be unclean until evening. And if the carcass of any unclean thing be carried, the person who does that shall wash his clothes and be unclean until the evening.    

And the carcass of every beast which divides the hoof and is not cloven footed nor chews the cud, shall be unclean and touching it makes the person unclean.

And every beast that goes upon its paws, and go on all fours shall be unclean also. In addition, among the creeping things that are also unclean are the weasel, the mouse, the tortoise, the ferret, the chameleon, the lizard, the mole and the snail.   www.chaberbooks.com
