Used for birds of prey: 'ayit (Genesis 15:11; Job 28:7; Isaiah 18:6). The Assyrian host, type of the anti-Christian hosts (Revelation 19:17-18, ta ornea; Ezekiel 39:17-20), "shall be left to the fowls of the mountains ... and the fowls shall summer upon them." In the sense "poultry," see Nehemiah 5:18; 1 Kings 4:23; "fatted fowl," barburim , from barar , "to be pure." Gesenius translated "geese." Birds in general (ta peteina ) (Luke 12:24).
