Study Lenses
The verse centers on "even", "locust", "after", "kind", and "bald". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "even" and "locust", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.
The nearby context moves from verse 21's "Yet these may ye eat of all..." into verse 23's "But all winged creeping things which have...", so "even" and "locust" belong inside that flow. In Leviticus context, the local focus is covenant, worship, and faithfulness.
A plain takeaway is to answer the verse's own emphasis on "even" and "locust" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
