the eagle: In Hebrew, nesher:, Chaldee, neshar:, Syriac, neshro:, and Arabic, nishr:, the eagle, one of the largest, strongest, swiftest, fiercest, and most rapacious of the feathered race. His eye is large, dark, and piercing; his beak powerful and hooked; his legs strong and feathered; his feet yellow and armed with four very long and terrific claws; his wings very large and powerful; his body compact and robust; his bones hard; his flesh firm; his feathers coarse; his attitude fierce and erect; his motions lively; his flight extremely rapid and towering; and his cry the terror of every wing. Deuteronomy 14:12-20; Job 28:7, Job 38:41, Job 39:27-30; Jeremiah 4:13, Jeremiah 4:22, Jeremiah 48:40; Lamentations 4:19; Hosea 8:1; Habakkuk 1:8; Matthew 24:28; Romans 1:28-32, Romans 3:13-17; Titus 3:3
the ossifrage: Peres:, from paras: to break, probably the species of eagle anciently called ossifraga: or bone-breaker (from os:, a bone, and frango:, to break), because it not only strips off the flesh, but breaks the bone, in order to extract the marrow.
the ospray: Hebrew ozniyah:, Arabic azan:, and Chaldee azyah:, (from azaz:, to be strong), a species of eagle, probably the black eagle, so remarkable for its strength.
