Senses in use

  1. A bird named and gathered in groups · dominant

    In Deuteronomy 14:13, the singular absolute noun occurs in a sequence of bird names; the APB renders the verse “And the glede, the falcon, and the hawk of its kind.” In Isaiah 34:15, the plural absolute form occurs where the APB says that “hawks are gathered there, each with its neighbor.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the bird in Deuteronomy 14:13 within a list and in Isaiah 34:15 as “hawks” gathered with neighbors. These renderings confirm the verses' bird imagery rather than isolate a precise English equivalent.
