Language

du.khi.phat denotes a bird named within paired dietary-list passages in the Bible.

The term is used as the name of a bird in matching list contexts, placed between the heron and the bat in Deuteronomy 14:18 and Leviticus 11:19.

Senses in use

  1. A bird named in a list · dominant

    In Deuteronomy 14:18 and Leviticus 11:19, the feminine singular absolute form occurs in a sequence naming the stork, heron, this bird, and the bat. In Deuteronomy 14:18 the APB renders the list “And the stork, the heron of its kind, the hoopoe, and the bat.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across both verses, the APB presents the term as “the hoopoe” within the same bird list. The verse is read as a whole, but its matching list placement confirms the parallel presentation.
