Verse 20
All fowls that creep ,.... Or rather "every creeping thing that flies"; for what are designed are not properly fowls, but, as the Jewish writers interpret them, flies, fleas, bees, wasps, hornets, locusts, &c.; so the Targum of Jonathan, Jarchi, Ben Gersom, and Maimonides F25 Maacolot Asurot, c. 2. l. 5. :
going upon all four ; that is, upon their four feet, when they walk or creep:
these shall be an abomination to you ; not used as food, but detested as such.
