Leviticus 11:21–25 However, you may eat the following kinds of flying insects that walk on all fours: those having jointed legs above their feet for hopping on the ground. / Of these you may eat any kind of locust, katydid, cricket, or grasshopper. / All other flying insects that have four legs are detestable to you.
Deuteronomy 14:19 All flying insects are unclean for you; they may not be eaten.
