Eagle (
Herb .
nesher ;
properly the griffon vulture or great vulture ,
so called from its tearing its prey with its beak ),
referred to for its swiftness of flight (
Deut .
28 :
49 ;
2 Sam .
1 :
23 ),
its mounting high in the air (
Job 39 :
27 ),
its strength (
Ps .
103 :
5 ),
its setting its nest in high places (
Jer .
49 :
16 ),
and its power of vision (
Job 39 :
27 -
30 ).
This "
ravenous bird "
is a symbol of those nations whom God employs and sends forth to do a work of destruction ,
sweeping away whatever is decaying and putrescent (
Matt .
24 :
28 ;
Isa .
46 :
11 ;
Ezek .
39 :
4 ;
Deut .
28 :
49 ;
Jer .
4 :
13 ;
48 :
40 ).
It is said that the eagle sheds his feathers in the beginning of spring ,
and with fresh plumage assumes the appearance of youth .
To this ,
allusion is made in Ps .
103 :
5 and Isa .
40 :
31 .
God '
s care over his people is likened to that of the eagle in training its young to fly (
Ex .
19 :
4 ;
Deut .
32 :
11 ,
12 ).
An interesting illustration is thus recorded by Sir Humphry Davy :, "
I once saw a very interesting sight above the crags of Ben Nevis .
Two parent eagles were teaching their offspring ,
two young birds ,
the maneuvers of flight .
They began by rising from the top of the mountain in the eye of the sun .
It was about mid -
day ,
and bright for the climate .
They at first made small circles ,
and the young birds imitated them .
They paused on their wings ,
waiting till they had made their flight ,
and then took a second and larger gyration ,
always rising toward the sun ,
and enlarging their circle of flight so as to make a gradually ascending spiral .
The young ones still and slowly followed ,
apparently flying better as they mounted ;
and they continued this sublime exercise ,
always rising till they became mere points in the air ,
and the young ones were lost ,
and afterwards their parents ,
to our aching sight ." (
See Isa .
40 :
31 .)
There have been observed in Palestine four distinct species of eagles , (
1 )
the golden eagle (
Aquila chrysaetos ); (
2 )
the spotted eagle (
Aquila naevia ); (
3 )
the common species ,
the imperial eagle (
Aquila heliaca );
and (
4 )
the Circaetos gallicus ,
which preys on reptiles .
The eagle was unclean by the Levitical law (
Lev .
11 :
13 ;
Deut .
14 :
12 ).
