Historical Commentaries

Scholarly Analysis and Interpretation.

gier eagle--The Hebrew word Rachemah is manifestly identical with Rachamah, the name which the Arabs give to the common vulture of Western Asia and Egypt (Neophron percnopterus). [See on Leviticus 11:18].
cormorant--rather, the plungeon; a seafowl. [See on Leviticus 11:17].
