All winged swarming things that go upon all fours are a detestable thing unto you. Yet these may ye eat of all winged swarming things that go upon all fours, which have jointed legs above their feet, wherewith to leap upon the earth; even these of them ye may eat: the locust [arbeh] after its kinds, and the bald locust [sal’am] after its kinds, and the cricket [chargol] after its kinds, and the grasshopper [chagav] after its kinds. But all winged swarming things, which have four feet, are a detestable thing unto you.
