| {{1ct| ''Leaping things''' | |
| | |
| There are a few insects that are exceptions to the rule. The actors on the stage could eat them.

| <ref>{{bgw| Le 11:21 }} 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;</ref>

| 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 'prayer' (kneeling) and leaping into the air, or striving to live in the spirit. These are people who get angry, or frustrated; they may be selfish sometimes; they may forget God from time to time. But they want to do better. So they ask God for help, and try to be good. God knows our heart.

| <ref>{{bgw| Php 2:12 }} Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.</ref>

| The word for leg is also that for kneel, as if in prayer. Leaping is also 'stripping off' or 'tremble'. The apostle Paul said to "work out your own salvation with fear and trembling" as we strip off the old man. He calls the flesh the 'old man'.
