American Tract Society Bible Dictionary
Bone-breaker; in Hebrew Peries, to break; an unclean bird of the eagle family, Leviticus 11:13 Deuteronomy 14:12 . Some interpreters think the vulture is intended; others, a mountain bird like the lammergeyer of the Alps, which breaks the bones of wild goats by hunting them over precipices.
