      (1995-04-14)
  
  

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Vulture
      (1.) Heb. da'ah (Lev. 11:14). In the parallel passage (Deut.
      14:13) the Hebrew word used is _ra'ah_, rendered "glede;" LXX.,
      "gups;" Vulg., "milvus." A species of ravenous bird,
      distinguished for its rapid flight. "When used without the
      epithet 'red,' the name is commonly confined to the black kite.
      The habits of the bird bear out the allusion in Isa. 34:15, for
      it is, excepting during the winter three months, so numerous
      everywhere in Palestine as to be almost gregarious." (See {EAGLE}.)
     
         (2.) In Job 28:7 the Heb. 'ayyah is thus rendered. The word
      denotes a clamorous and a keen-sighted bird of prey. In Lev.
      11:14 and Deut. 14:13 it is rendered "kite" (q.v.).
