Comments: A Black-crowned Night Heron (Nycticorax nycticorax) at the Jerusalem Biblical Zoo.

 

Heron — Mentioned Lev. 11:19, in the list of unclean birds, but probably in the wrong place in the D.V.; heron, indeed, should be substituted for charadrion, whereas in the same verse it stands for stork, as the A.V. correctly states it.

Verses:

  • Leviticus 11:19
  • Deuteronomy 14:18
