In the biblical account, eggs are mentioned as a part of God's creation and a source of sustenance. According to Deuteronomy, eggs are found in nests, and the mother bird is to be spared when taking them, showing consideration for the natural world. The prophet Isaiah uses eggs as a metaphor, warning against those who hatch plans of evil, as seen in Isaiah 10 and 59. Additionally, Jesus references eggs in the Gospel of Luke, and Job describes the ostrich laying eggs in the wilderness, highlighting God's provision and care for all creatures.

If you come across a bird’s nest with chicks or eggs, either in a tree or on the ground along the road, and the mother is sitting on the chicks or eggs, you must not take the mother along with the young. You may take the young, but be sure to let the mother go, so that it may be well with you and that you may prolong your days.

For You formed my inmost being; You knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Marvelous are Your works, and I know this very well. My frame was not hidden from You when I was made in secret, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed body; all my days were written in Your book and ordained for me before one of them came to be.
