The Key Word — יַעֲנָה, hai.ya.'a.Nahgenerated
The word יַעֲנָה (ya`anah) refers to the ostrich, which is classified as an unclean bird in the biblical context. This term is used to denote not only the ostrich but potentially other similar birds, indicating a broader category of unclean avian species.
The parsing as a feminine singular noun suggests it is treated as a specific entity within the list of unclean birds. The uncertainty surrounding its exact identification in modern terms highlights the challenges of translating ancient texts into contemporary understanding.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
All translations agree on the designation of these birds as unclean.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main structure of the verse consists of a series of noun phrases, each representing a different bird, linked by the conjunctions. The primary verb is implied in the context of listing unclean animals, which forms a clear and organized enumeration.
The Hebrew word order places emphasis on each bird as a distinct entity, contributing to the overall understanding of the dietary laws being conveyed.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates יַעֲנָה as a term that may not directly correspond to the Hebrew meaning, indicating a potential narrowing of the original term's scope. The Greek word used reflects the translators' understanding of the bird's characteristics.
This choice of translation may suggest an interpretation that aligns with the Greek audience's familiarity with avian species, though it does not capture the full breadth of the Hebrew term.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
Deuteronomy 14:15 lists birds that are considered unclean for the Israelites to eat. This includes the ostrich, screech owl, gull, and any kind of hawk. These dietary laws were important for maintaining ritual purity and obedience to God's commandments.
Frequently Asked Questionsgenerated
In biblical terms, an unclean bird is one that is not permissible for consumption according to the dietary laws outlined in the Torah.
These birds are mentioned as part of the laws given to the Israelites to distinguish between clean and unclean animals, which was essential for their cultural and religious identity.
While these laws were specific to the Israelites, they are often studied for their historical and theological significance in understanding biblical principles of holiness.
Some of the birds listed may have modern equivalents, but the exact identification can be challenging due to changes in language and species over time.
Reflection Questionsgenerated
- What do these dietary laws reveal about the values and beliefs of the Israelite community?
- How can understanding these classifications help us appreciate the cultural context of the Bible?
- In what ways do modern dietary practices reflect or differ from these ancient laws?
- How can we apply the principle of holiness in our own lives today?

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran
The Masoretic Text lists the same birds, while the Samaritan Pentateuch differs by using תחמוס for 'screech owl' and מינו for 'kind'. The Septuagint matches only three of the ten words, indicating some variation in the ancient texts.
וְאֵת֙ בַּ֣ת הַֽיַּעֲנָ֔ה וְאֶת־ הַתַּחְמָ֖ס וְאֶת־ הַשָּׁ֑חַף וְאֶת־ הַנֵּ֖ץ לְמִינֵֽהוּ׃
3 of the 10 words are matched. This is the word-by-word correspondence, not the Septuagint's own sentence — its word order and its articles are its own.

ov:
(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.
OF, preposition ov. [Gr.]
1. From or out of; proceeding from, as the cause, source, means, author or agent bestowing.
I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered to you. 1 Corinthians 11:1.
For it was of the Lord to harden their hearts. Joshua 11:1.

Hence of is the sign of the genitive case, the case that denotes production; as the son of man, the son proceeding from man, produced from man. This is the primary sense, although we now say, produced by man. 'Part of these were slain; ' that is, a number separate, for part denotes a division; the sense then is, a number from or out of the whole were slain. So also, 'some of these were slain; ' that is…

os'-trich (ya`anah; strouthos; Latin Struthio camelus): The largest bird now living. The Hebrew words ya`anah, which means "greediness," and bath ha-ya`anah, "daughter of greediness," are made to refer to the indiscriminate diet of the ostrich, to which bird they apply; and again to the owl, with no applicability. The owl at times has a struggle to swallow whole prey it has taken, but the mere fact that it is a night hunter forever shuts it from the class of greedy and promiscuous feeders. The bodies of owls are proverbially lean like eagles. Neither did the owl frequent several places where older versions of Jer and Isa place it; so the translations are now correctly rendered "ostrich." These birds came into the Bible because of their desert life, the companions they lived among there, and because of their night cries that were guttural, terrifying groans, like the roaring of lions.…
Ostrich
(Lam. 4:3), the rendering of Hebrew pl. enim; so called from its greediness and gluttony. The allusion here is to the habit of the ostrich with reference to its eggs, which is thus described: “The outer layer of eggs is generally so ill covered that they are destroyed in quantities by jackals, wild-cats, etc., and that the natives carry them away, only taking care not to leave the marks of their footsteps, since, when the ostrich comes and finds that her nest is discovered, she crushes the whole brood, and builds a nest elsewhere.” In Job 39:13 this word in the Authorized Version is the rendering of a Hebrew word (notsah) which means “feathers,” as in the Revised Version. In the same verse the word “peacocks” of the Authorized Version is the rendering of the Hebrew pl.…
a large bird, native of African and Arabia, nearly ten feet high, having s long neck and short wings. It seeks retired places, (Job 30:29; Lamentations 4:13) and has a peculiar mournful cry that is sometimes mistaken by the Arabs for that of the lion. (Micah 1:8) In (Job 39:13-18) will be found a description of the bird’s habits. Ostriches are polygamous; the hens lay their eggs promiscuously in one nest, which is merely a hole scratched in the sand; the eggs are then covered over to the depth of about a foot, and are, in the case of those birds which are found within the tropics, generally left for the greater part of the day to the heat of the sun, the parent-birds taking…
The largest of birds, and a sort of connecting link between fowls and quadrupeds, termed by the Persians, Arabs, and by Greeks, the "camel-bird." It is a native of the dry and torrid regions of Africa and western Asia. The gray ostrich is seven feet high and its neck three feet long; it weighs nearly eighty pounds, and is strong enough to carry two men. The other species, with glossy black wings and white tail, is sometimes ten feet high. The beautiful plumes so highly valued are found on the wings, about twenty on each, those of the tail being usually broken and worn. There are no feathers on the thighs, or under the wings; and the neck is but scantily clothed with thin whitish hairs. The weight of the body and the size and structure of the wings show that the animal is formed for running rather than flying.

fo'-k'-n, fol'-k'-n, fal'-kun: The Hebrews did not know the word. Their bird corresponding to our falcon, in all probability, was one of the smaller kestrels covered by the word nets, which seemed to cover all lesser birds of prey that we include in the hawk family. That some of our many divisions of species were known to them is indicated by the phrase "after its kind."
