Animals » Ordained as food for man
And the fear of you will be strong in every beast of the earth and every bird of the air; everything which goes on the land, and all the fishes of the sea, are given into your hands. Every living and moving thing will be food for you; I give them all to you as before I gave you all green things.

But of the winged four-footed things, those which have long legs for jumping on the earth you may have for food; Such as all the different sorts of locust.
These are the beasts which you may have for food: the ox, the sheep, and the goat; The hart, the gazelle, and the roe, the mountain goat and the pygarg and the antelope and the mountain sheep. Any beast which has a division in the horn of its foot and whose food comes back into its mouth to be crushed again, may be used for food.
And of the things living in the waters, you may take all those who have wings for swimming with and skins formed of thin plates.
But all clean birds you may take.
