Ulangan 14:12-13

14:12 These are the ones you may not eat: the eagle, ¹  the vulture, ²  the black vulture, ³  14:13 the kite, the black kite, the dayyah ⁴  after its species,

[14:12]  ¹ tn NEB “the griffon-vulture.”

[14:12]  ² tn The Hebrew term פֶּרֶס (peres) describes a large vulture otherwise known as the ossifrage (cf. KJV). This largest of the vultures takes its name from its habit of dropping skeletal remains from a great height so as to break the bones apart.

[14:12]  ³ tn The Hebrew term עָזְנִיָּה (’ozniyyah) may describe the black vulture (so NIV) or it may refer to the osprey (so NAB, NRSV, NLT), an eagle-like bird subsisting mainly on fish.

[14:13]  ⁴ tn The Hebrew term is דַּיָּה (dayyah). This, with the previous two terms (רָאָה [ra’ah] and אַיָּה [’ayyah]), is probably a kite of some species but otherwise impossible to specify.
