| They teach us something God wants us to learn. These critters are clean because although they fly and creep on all fours, they are distinguished by a large set of legs for leaping for jumping into the air. The word 'leg' also means 'kneeling' as if praying. Leaping into the air, makes them look like they are striving to live in the spirit.
