EAGLE - E>@ - (Heb. nesher , i.e. a tearer with the beak). At least four distinct kinds of eagles have been observed in Palestine, viz., the golden eagle, Aquila chrysaetos , the spotted eagle, Aquila naevia , the imperial eagle, Aquila heliaca , and the very common Circaetos gallicus . The Hebrew nesher may stand for any of these different species, though perhaps more particular reference to the golden and imperial eagles and the griffon vulture may be intended. The passage in Micah, kjv@Micah:1:16) "enlarge thy baldness as the eagle," may refer to the griffon vulture, Vultur fulvus , in which case the simile is peculiarly appropriate, for the whole head and neck of this bird are destitute of true feathers. The "eagles" of kjv@Matthew:24:28; kjv@Luke:17:37) may include the Vultur fulvus and Neophron percnopterus ; though, as eagles frequently prey upon dead bodies, there is no necessity to restrict the Greek word to the Vulturidae . The figure of an eagle is now and has long been a favorite military ensign. The Persians so employed it; a fact which illustrates the passage in kjv@Isaiah:46:11) The same bird was similarly employed by the Assyrians and the Romans.

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 kjv@Deuteronomy:28:49; kjv@2Samuel:1:23), its mounting high in the air kjv@Job:39:27), its strength kjv@Psalms:103:5), its setting its nest in high places kjv@Jeremiah:49:16), and its power of vision kjv@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 kjv@Matthew:24:28; kjv@Isaiah:46:11; kjv@Ezekiel:39:4; kjv@Deuteronomy:28:49; kjv@Jeremiah:4:13 kjv@Jeremiah: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 kjv@Psalms:103:5 and kjv@Isaiah:40:31. God's care over his people is likened to that of the eagle in training its young to fly kjv@Exodus:19:4; kjv@Deuteronomy:32:11-12). An interesting illustration is thus recorded by Sir Humphry kjv@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 kjv@Isaiah: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 kjv@Leviticus:11:13; kjv@Deuteronomy:14:12).
