Deuteronomy 14:11-20

     11-20. Of all clean birds ye shall eat—(See on Le 11:21).

     13. glede—thought to be the same as that rendered vulture ( see on Le 11:14).

     11-20. Of all clean birds ye shall eat—(See on Le 11:21).

     15. the cuckow—more probably the sea-gull. [See on Le 11:16].

     16. the swan—rather, the goose [MICHAELIS]. [See on Le 11:18].

     17. gier eagle—The Hebrew word Rachemah is manifestly identical with Rachamah, the name which the Arabs give to the common vulture of Western Asia and Egypt (Neophron percnopterus). [See on Le 11:18].

      cormorant—rather, the plungeon; a seafowl. [See on Le 11:17].

     18. the lapwing—the upupa or hoop: a beautiful bird, but of the most unclean habits. [See on Le 11:19].

     11-20. Of all clean birds ye shall eat—(See on Le 11:21).
