vulture
vulture The king of birds, according to the
Hebrews (Lam. 4: 19, where English versions translate ‘eagles’) but considered
unclean (Lev. 11: 13). Of the species known in Palestine, probably that referred to by Jesus (Matt. 24: 28), is the griffon vulture, as in Prov. 30: 17, translated ‘eagles’ by AV, but ‘vultures’ in modern translations.
