Careful Bible Students read Leviticus 11:13-19 and know that Leviticus 11:13-19 is talking of flying creatures like birds and bats that are unclean. These flying creatures also known as unclean birds and bats listed in Leviticus 11:13-19 are not good for food..
".. 13 And these are they which ye shall have in abomination among the fowls; they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the ospray,
14 And the vulture, and the kite after his kind;
15 Every raven after his kind;
16 And the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckow, and the hawk after his kind,
17 And the little owl, and the cormorant, and the great owl,
18 And the swan, and the pelican, and the gier eagle,
19 And the stork, the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat...".
Nowhere does The Holy Bible say in Leviticus 11:13-19 these PRECISE and EXACT words that ".. Bats are Birds.".
The Holy Bible does not say that ".. Bats are Birds.." because bats are not birds.. Bats fly.Birds do fly. Both Bats and Birds can fly but bats are not birds.
In Leviticus 11:13-19 we see that no where does The Holy Bible say bats are birds.
Notice the language and the punctuation in Leviticus 11:13-19.

Notice how the language of Leviticus 11:13-19 is so PRECISE and EXACT to separate one kind of unclean birds from another kind of unclean birds.
Notice how when it comes to talking about bats, in Leviticus 11:13-19 ..the Scriptures simply say "... and the bat..".
The bat is listed last because bats are not part of any of the unclean group of birds. The bat is listed last in Leviticus 11:19 because the bat is not of any of the kinds of unclean birds because the bat is not a bird ...the bat is not an unclean bird ..the bat is a flying mammal .. The bat is flying creature that flies like a bird...Amen.
