- Leviticus 11:19
the stork, any kind of heron, the hoopoe, and the bat.
Commentary on Leviticus 11:191 voice
The stork - חסידה chasidah, from חסד chasad, which signifies to be abundant in kindness, or exuberant in acts of beneficence; hence applied to the stork, because of its affection to its young, and its kindness in tending and feeding its parents when old; facts attested by the best informed and most judicious of the Greek and Latin natural historians. See Bochart, Scheuchzer, and Parkhurst, under the word חסד chasad. It is remarkable for destroying and eating serpents, and on this account might be reckoned by Moses among unclean birds. The heron - אנפה anaphah.

- Deuteronomy 14:18
the stork, any kind of heron, the hoopoe, or the bat.
- Isaiah 2:20
In that day men will cast away to the moles and bats their idols of silver and gold—the idols they made to worship.
Commentary on Isaiah 2:201 voice
Which they made each one for himself to worship “Which they have made to worship” - The word לו lo, for himself, is omitted by two ancient MSS., and is unnecessary. It does not appear that any copy of the Septuagint has it, except MS. Pachom, and MS. 1. D. II., and they have ἑαυτοις, להם lahem, to themselves.
