Comments: A flock of quail

 

Quail (שְׂלָו śəlāw - Strongs: H7958)— The description given Exodus 16:11–13; Numbers 11:31, 32; Psalm 78:27–35 (Vulgate: Psalm 77), and Psalm 105:40 (Vulgate: Psalm 104), the references to their countless flocks, their low flying, their habit of alighting on land in the morning, together with the analogy of the Hebrew and Arabic names, make it certain that the common quail (Coturnix vulgaris) is intended.

Verses:

  • Exodus 16:13
  • Numbers 11:31
  • Numbers 11:32
  • Psalms 78:27
  • Psalms 105:40
