A number of species of the owl are mentioned in the Bible, Leviticus 11:17; Leviticus 14:16; Isaiah 14:23; Isaiah 34:15; Zephaniah 2:14, and in several other places, the same Hebrew word is used, where it is translated ostrich. Job 30:29; Jeremiah 50:39. Some of these species were common in Palestine, and, as is well known, were often found inhabiting ruins. Isaiah 34:11; Isaiah 34:13-15.
