Ravenous birds are expressed by the Hebrew &#8216;ait; Greek aetos, one that pounces on prey; smaller birds, as the sparrow, are called in Hebrew tsippor, the &#8220;tsip&#8221; imitating its note. Snaring of birds by net and gin is the image used for the plots of bad men and Satan, to catch souls to their ruin (Psa 91:3; Psa 124:7; Jer 5:26-27). The &#8220;cage full of birds&#8221; is the trap with decoy birds to lure others, upon whom then the trap door was dropped. It is also the image for the awfully sudden and unexpected surprise with which Christ&#8217;s second coming shall overtake the worldly in the midst of carnal security (Luk 21:35). The lake of Galilee still abounds in wild duck. The swan and goose (supposed to be meant in 1Ki 4:23) also are found.<\/p>\n<p>Snaring and shooting with arrows were the usual modes of taking them. The youth seduced by the strange woman&#8217;s fair speech, &#8220;till a dart strike through his liver,&#8221; is like such a bird &#8220;hasting to the snare and not knowing that it is for his life&#8221; (Pro 7:23). The Lord commanded Israel (Deu 22:6), &#8220;If a bird&#8217;s nest chance to be before thee, &#8230; whether they be young ones or eggs, &#8230; thou shalt not take the dam with the young.&#8221; By this the extirpation of the species was prevented. God cares for even sparrows (Mat 10:29), much more for His children. He would have us imitate His tenderness even toward the inarticulate brutes beneath us. Birds kept in cages for pleasure are not mentioned in Scripture; except there be an allusion to them in Job 41:5, &#8220;Wilt thou play with him as with a bird?&#8221; Singing birds were rarer in Palestine than with us, still there were some (Psa 104:12; Ecc 12:4).<\/p>\n<p>Birds, as the turtle dove and pigeon, were allowed to be substituted in sacrifices for more costly animals by the poor (Lev 1:14-17; Lev 12:2; Lev 12:6; Lev 12:8), but they were not to be divided as other victims (Gen 15:10). The Virgin Mary&#8217;s poverty appears from her presenting the offering of the poor (Luk 2:24). The abundance of birds in Palestine appears from their devouring the seed sown by the wayside in the parable of the sower (Mat 13:4). Psa 84:3 is understood as if sparrows and swallows made their nests in the two &#8220;altars&#8221; (observe the plural) of the tabernacle. But such a position for a birds&#8217; nest would be neither enviable nor safe, indeed scarcely possible in the altar of incense in the holy place before the veil. Rather there is an abbreviated comparison: what the house is to the sparrow, and what her nest is to the swallow, that Thine altars, are to my soul, and therefore my soul longs for them.<\/p>\n<p>Like a little bird, which after a long defenseless wandering has found a house (compare Mat 8:20) in which it may dwell securely, a nest to which it may entrust confidently its dearest possession, its young, thus have I a homeless wanderer found in Thy house the true nest for the soul; otherwise I should have been like the lonely bird on the housetop (compare Psa 102:6; Psa 74:19). Our two great needs are: (I) atonement for guilt, seas to be at peace with God; (II) access to God, and acceptance for our imperfect prayers. The altar of burnt offering outside (I) represented in type the former, namely, Christ&#8217;s atonement for all guilt by His precious b1ood shedding; the altar of incense inside (II) typified the latter, our prayers being perfumed by our great Intercessor&#8217;s merits, and so becoming a sweet-smelling savor before God (compare Psa 141:2; Rev 8:3-4).<\/p>\n<p>The bird killed over running water, and the second bird dipped into the mixed water and blood and set free, for cleansing the leper, symbolize Christ slain to atone for our guilt, and living again and forever by His resurrection for our justification (Leviticus 14). As the &#8220;blood&#8221; represents our reconciliation to God by the atonement so the &#8220;water&#8221; our cleansing (Joh 19:34; 1Jo 5:6). In Isa 31:5 Jehovah&#8217;s solicitous, affectionate care for His people is illustrated. &#8220;As birds flying (i.e. parent birds hovering over their young to defend them from the vulture), so will the Lord of hosts defend Jerusalem.&#8221; Compare the beautiful image of the parent eagle teaching the young the first flight (Deu 32:1; Psa 91:4).<\/p>\n<p>Men, like birds, are weak, soon ensnared, prone to wander from their true rest (Pro 7:23; Pro 27:8; Lam 3:52). Under Christ, in the gospel church. they find their rest lodging under the overshadowing branches of the true Vine (Eze 17:23; Mat 13:32) a better protection than that of the world power (Eze 31:6; Dan 2:38). Jer 12:9; &#8220;Mine heritage is unto Me as a speckled bird,&#8221; i.e., the Jewish nation had blended paganism with the altogether diverse Mosaic ritual; so the nations around, God&#8217;s instruments of vengeance, as birds of prey like herself (through her assimilation to them) were ready to pounce upon her (compare Rev 18:2).<\/p>\n<p>The birds&#8217; instinctive observance of their seasons of migration, returning every spring from their winter abodes (Son 2:12), is made a tacit reproof of God&#8217;s people not returning to Him now that the winter of His judicial wrath is past, and the spring of His gracious favor set in (Jer 8:7). Translate Pro 26:2, &#8220;as the sparrow (is prone to) wandering, as the swallow (is prone to) flying (yet never lights upon us), so the curse causeless shall not come&#8221; (Deu 23:5, Balaam and Israel; 2Sa 16:5-12, Shimei and David; Psa 109:28). Ecc 10:20, &#8220;a bird of the air shall carry the matter.&#8221; Proverbial: the fact will reach the king&#8217;s knowledge in a marvelous way, as if a bird had carried it to him. The bird was regarded as the emblem of superhuman intelligence.<\/p>\n<h4 align='right'><i><b>Fuente: Fausset&#8217;s Bible Dictionary<\/b><\/i><\/h4>\n<h2>Bird<\/h2>\n<p>BIRD.See Animals, p. 65a.<\/p>\n<h4 align='right'><i><b>Fuente: A Dictionary Of Christ And The Gospels<\/b><\/i><\/h4>\n<h2>Bird<\/h2>\n<p>BIRD.1. In OT: (1) ph. tr. [Note: translate or translation.]  birds or fowl. usually joined with of heaven or of the air: see Gen 1:21; Gen 1:30, Lev 17:13, 2Sa 21:10, Jer 4:25, Eze 31:6; Eze 31:13 : (2) ayit, usually tr. [Note: translate or translation.]  fowls (AV [Note: Authorized Version.] ) and birds of prey (RV [Note: Revised Version.] ): Gen 15:11, Job 28:7, Isa 18:6, Eze 39:4; (3) tsippr (cf. Arab. [Note: Arabic.]  asfr). small birds like sparrows which twitter: Gen 7:14, Lev 14:6, Psa 84:3 etc.; (4) baal knph, possessor of a wing, Pro 1:17. 2. In NT: (1) peteina, Mat 13:4, Luk 13:19 etc. (2) ornea, birds of prey, Rev 18:2; Rev 19:17; Rev 19:21.<\/p>\n<p>Birds abound in Palestine, and evidently did so in ancient times. They were sympathetically watched and studied; we read, for example, of their migrations (Jer 8:7 etc.), their care of their young (Deu 32:11, Mat 23:37 etc.), the helplessness of their young (Pro 27:8, Isa 16:2 etc.), their nesting (Psa 104:12; Psa 104:17); indeed, every phase of bird life is touched upon. There are many references to the snares of the fowler (see Snares). Birds are divided into clean and unclean. In some cases they were allowed as sacrificial offerings (Lev 1:14-17; Lev 14:4-33). It is a curious thing that the duck is not apparently (unless, as some think, in 1Ki 4:23, under the fatted fowlbarburm absm) mentioned in the OT, although a beautifully modelled clay duck of an early period, certainly earlier than the OT records, was found during the recent excavations in Gezer. All birds mentioned by name in the Bible are dealt with in separate articles.<\/p>\n<p>E. W. G. Masterman.<\/p>\n<h4 align='right'><i><b>Fuente: Hastings&#8217; Dictionary of the Bible<\/b><\/i><\/h4>\n<h2>Bird<\/h2>\n<p> , a common name for all birds, but is sometimes used for the sparrow in particular.<\/p>\n<p>Birds are distinguished by the Jewish legislator into clean and unclean. Such as fed upon grain and seeds were allowed for food, and such as devoured flesh and carrion were prohibited.<\/p>\n<p>Moses, to inspire the Israelites with sentiments of tenderness toward the brute creation, commands them, if they find a bird&#8217;s nest, not to take the dam with the young, but to suffer the old one to fly away, and to take the young only, Deu 22:6. This is one of those merciful constitutions in the law of Moses which respect the animal creation, and tended to humanize the heart of that people, to excite in them a sense of the divine providence extending itself to all creatures, and to teach them to exercise their dominion over them with gentleness. Beside, the young never knew the sweets of liberty; the dam did: they might be taken and used for any lawful purpose; but the dam must not be brought into a state of captivity. The poet Phocylides has a maxim, in his admonitory poem, very similar to that in the sacred texts:<\/p>\n<p> &#8216; ,     .<\/p>\n<p>Nor from a nest take all the birds away, The mother spare, she&#8217;ll breed a future day.<\/p>\n<p>It appears that the ancients hunted birds. Bar 3:17, speaking of the kings of Babylon says, They had their pastime with the fowls of the air; and Dan 2:38, tells Nebuchadnezzar that God had made the fowls of the air subject to him.<\/p>\n<p>Birds were offered in sacrifice on many occasions. In the sacrifices for sin, he who had not a lamb, or a kid, might offer two turtles, or two young pigeons; one for a sin-offering, the other for a burnt-offering. These he presented to the priest, who offered that first which was for the sin- offering, and wrung off the head from the neck, but did not divide it asunder; the other he was to offer for a burnt-offering, Lev 5:7-8. When a man who had been smitten with a leprosy was healed, he came to the entrance of the camp of Israel, and the priest went out to inspect him, whether he were entirely cured, Lev 14:5-6. After this inspection, the leprous person came to the door of the tabernacle, and offered two living sparrows, or two birds; (pure birds, those of which it was lawful to eat;) he made a wisp with branches of cedar and hyssop, tied together with a thread, or scarlet ribbon; he filled an earthen pot with running water, that the blood of the bird might be mingled with it; then the priest, dipping the bunch of hyssop and cedar into the water, sprinkled with it the leper who was healed; after which he let loose the living bird, to fly where it would. In Palestine dead bodies were sometimes left exposed to birds of prey, as appears from Scripture; but, generally, they were buried in the evening: even criminals were taken down from the gallows.<\/p>\n<h4 align='right'><i><b>Fuente: Biblical and Theological Dictionary<\/b><\/i><\/h4>\n<h2>Bird<\/h2>\n<p>Lev 14:5-6 (c) The dead bird represents JESUS on the Cross as the dying Saviour.

The Lord, however, chose it to be His servant and to give the food out of its own bill to Elijah. It was a converted raven, changed to be GOD&#8217;s servant to man.
