a. All flying insects that creep on all fours shall be an abomination to you: Among insects, any creeping insect was unkosher (such as ants or grubs). Yet if there were a flying insect with legs jointed above their feet, these could be eaten. Good examples of kosher insects include the locust, the cricket, and the grasshopper.
Great tell those soldiers who are starving and have to eat ants that they are going to hell. Wonderful. You know this is King James who was a person. The only Bible that was spoken directly by God was the Catholic version. Not sure if you knew that.
I didn't know that. But thanks for the information.
And I don't think that soldiers who eat ants are going to go to hell either.
Are you referring to Lev 11:21 - 22 ?
It would be curious to know the oldest version of that line.
My K.J. version does not say “insects” and insects have SIX legs.

Jerome was God?
Bwahahahahaaaaa....oh....you're serious?
No, you can't be.
In other words, "If Latin was good enough for Jesus, it's good enough for me!"

If you're looking for the real scoop on Leviticus, my advice to you is to consult the Hasidim. They can translate for you from Moses's original Hebrew.
