FOWL . The word ‘fowl’ is used in AV [Note: Authorized Version.] for any kind of bird. The two words ‘bird’ and ‘fowl’ are employed simply for the sake of variety or perhaps to distinguish two different Heb. or Gr. words occurring near one another. Thus Genesis 15:10 ‘the birds (Heb. tsippôr ) divided he not,’ Genesis 15:11 ‘when the fowls (Heb. ‘ayit ) came down upon the carcases’; Jeremiah 12:8 ‘the birds round about’ (same Heb. as ‘fowls’ in Genesis 15:11 ), Psalms 8:8 ‘the fowl of the air’ (same Heb. as ‘birds’ in Genesis 15:10 ). See Bird.
