Is a bat a bird? Or is that a "printing/typographical error"?

Merely pointing out that the imposition of modern classifications of "birds" and "bat" on a piece of ancient literature that refers to flying things is to anachronistically and improperly interpret the passage, is not "dancing" "parsing".

The Bible was not written in King James English. Leviticus was written in Hebrew. Why don't you go look up the Hebrew word that is used in the text and see how it has been translated over the millenia by scholars.

Cordially,

So, those words may suffer from translation issues, but the word "day" couldn't have?

While you're at it, go read a couple of books by Owen Barfield.

Cheers!
