Bible Verses About Creeping Things: A general term for animals

"'All winged swarming creatures that go on all fours are a detestable thing for you;

except that of all winged swarming creatures that go on all fours, you may eat those that have jointed legs above their feet, enabling them to jump off the ground.

Specifically, of these you may eat the various kinds of locusts, grasshoppers, katydids and crickets.

But other than that, all winged swarming creatures having four feet are a detestable thing for you.

"'The following are unclean for you among the small creatures that swarm on the ground: the weasel, the mouse, the various kinds of lizards,

the gecko, the land crocodile, the skink, the sand-lizard and the chameleon.

They are unclean crawling creatures; whoever touches them when they are dead will be unclean until evening.
