Deuteronomy 14:12-20
Lev 11:13-19 the glede Raâh, probably the same as daâh, rendered vulture in Lev 11:14, where six of Dr. Kennicott's codices read some animal of the hawk or vulture kind: LXX γυπα, vulture. Deut 14:13 Job 30:29 the night Tachmas, probably the bird which Hasselquist calls strix orientalis, or oriental owl. the cuckoo Shachpaph, probably the sea-gull or mew. the swan Tinshemeth, probably, as Michaelis supposes, the goose. Deut 14:16 gier Rachamah, probably a species of vulture, still called in Arabic by the same name. the cormorant Shalach, probably the cataract, or plungeon, a sea fowl. Deut 14:17 the lapwing Doocheephath, the upupa, or hoop, a beautiful but very unclean bird. Deut 14:18 Lev 11:20-23; Phil 3:19
