Leviticus 11:19
17 the little owl, the cormorant, the great owl,
18 the white owl, the desert owl, the osprey,
the stork, any kind of heron, the hoopoe, and the bat.
20 All flying insects that walk on all fours are detestable to you.
21 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.
This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
