- Vulgate (Clementine)
- Quidquid autem ambulat quidem super quatuor pedes, sed habet longiora retro crura, per quæ salit super terram,
- Septuagint (Swete)
- ἀλλὰ ταῦτα φάγεσθε ἀπὸ τῶν ἑρπετῶν τῶν πετεινῶν ἃ πορεύεται ἐπὶ τέσσερα· ἔχει σκέλη ἀνώτερον τῶν ποδῶν αὐτοῦ πηδᾷν ἐν αὐτοῖς ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς.
- Hebrew (WLC)
- אַ֤ךְ אֶת זֶה֙ תֹּֽאכְל֔וּ מִכֹּל֙ שֶׁ֣רֶץ הָע֔וֹף הַהֹלֵ֖ךְ עַל אַרְבַּ֑ע אֲשֶׁר לא כְרָעַ֨יִם֙ מִמַּ֣עַל לְרַגְלָ֔יו לְנַתֵּ֥ר בָּהֵ֖ן עַל הָאָֽרֶץ
Haydock's commentary
Walketh. Hebrew adds lo, "not." But the Massorets read lu, "to it," agreeably to the Vulgate. (Calmet)
Protestant version, "Yet these may ye eat, of every flying creeping thing that goeth upon all four, which have legs above their feet, to leap withal upon the earth."
