RAVEN - R>@ - (black). The Hebrew oreb is applied to the several species of the crow family, a number of which are found in Palestine. The raven belongs to the order Insessores , family Corvidae . (It resembles the crow, but is larger weighing three pounds; its black color is more iridescent, and it is gifted with greater sagacity. "There is something weird and shrewd in the expression of the raven’s countenance, a union of cunning and malignity which may have contributed to give it among widely-revered nations a reputation for preternatural knowledge." One writer says that the smell of death is so grateful to them that when in passing over sheep a tainted smell is perceptible, they cry and croak vehemently. It may be that in passing over a human habitation, if a sickly or cadaverous smell arises, they should make it known by their cries, and so has arisen the idea that the croaking of a raven is the premonition of death.
ED.) A raven was sent out by Noah from the ark. kjv@Genesis:8:7) This bird was not allowed as food by the Mosaic law. kjv@Leviticus:11:15) Elijah was cared for by ravens. (Kings:17:4-6) They are expressly mentioned as instances of God’s protecting love and goodness. kjv@Job:38:41; kjv@Luke:12:24) The raven’s carnivorous habits, and especially his readiness to attack the eye, are alluded to in kjv@Proverbs:30:17) To the fact of the raven being a common bird in Palestine, and to its habit of flying restlessly about in constant search for food to satisfy its voracious appetite, may perhaps be traced the reason for its being selected by our Lord and the inspired writers as the especial object of God’s providing care.

Raven @ Heb. 'orebh, from a root meaning "to be black" (comp. Cant. 5:11); first mentioned as "sent forth" by Noah from the ark kjv@Genesis:8:7). "Every raven after his kind" was forbidden as food kjv@Leviticus:11:15; kjv@Deuteronomy:14:14). Ravens feed mostly on carrion, and hence their food is procured with difficulty kjv@Job:38:41; kjv@Psalms:147:9). When they attack kids or lambs or weak animals, it is said that they first pick out the eyes of their victims kjv@Proverbs:30:17). When Elijah was concealed by the brook Cherith, God commanded the ravens to bring him "bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening" (kjvKings:17:3-6). (
See ELIJAH.) There are eight species of ravens in Palestine, and they are everywhere very numerous in that land.
