Night raven (see raven), the equivalent in Psalm 102 (Vulgate: Psalm 101) verse 7, of the Hebrew word translated in Leviticus 11:17, as screech owl (see owl), seems to mean the blue thrush (petrocynela cyanea), a well-known solitary bird of the country, which is fond of sitting alone on a roof or a rock.

Verses:

  • Leviticus 11:17
  • Deuteronomy 14:16
  • Psalms 102:7
  • Isaiah 34:11
