HERON . The Heb. word ’anâphâh designates an unclean bird ( Leviticus 11:19 , Deuteronomy 14:18 ), not otherwise mentioned in the Bible, but sufficiently well known to be taken as a type of a class. The occurrence of this name immediately after stork , and followed by the expression ‘after her kind,’ makes it probable that the EV [Note: English Version.] rendering is correct. The heron belongs to the same group as the stork, and no fewer than six species of the genus Ardea alone are found in Palestine.
