the little owl, and the great owl, and the swan,

and the pelican, and the gier-eagle, and the cormorant,

and the stork, and the heron after its kind, and the lapwing, and the bat;

and every teeming thing which is flying, unclean it is to you; they are not eaten;

If I am hungry I tell not to thee, For Mine is the world and its fulness.
