- Leviticus 11:16
the ostrich, the screech owl, the gull, any kind of hawk,
Commentary on Leviticus 11:162 voices
No less than twenty species of birds, all probably then known, are mentioned under this category, and the inference follows that all which are not mentioned were allowed; that is, fowls which subsist on vegetable substances.

- Deuteronomy 14:15
the ostrich, the screech owl, the gull, any kind of hawk,
Commentary on Deuteronomy 14:151 voice
Of all clean fowls you may eat. [4.] They are further forbidden, First, To eat the flesh of any creature that died of itself, because the blood was not separated from it, and, besides the ceremonial uncleanness which it lay under (from Lev. xi. 39 ), it is not wholesome food, nor ordinarily used among us, except by the poor.
Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710Puritan
- Job 39:26
Does the hawk take flight by your understanding and spread his wings toward the south?
Commentary on Job 39:262 voices
Fly - So strongly, constantly, unweariedly, and swiftly. South - At the approach of winter, when wild hawks fly into warmer countries, as being impatient of cold. The birds of the air are proofs of the wonderful providence of God, as well as the beasts of the earth.
John Wesley· Explanatory Notes upon the Old Testament, 1765Evangelical
Doth the hawk get feathers by thy wisdom, stretching her wings toward the South? 92. That the hawk casts off its old feathers every year, as the new grow up, and gets a plumage without intermission, hardly any one is ignorant. But that time of plumage, when it is clothed in the nest, is not here spoken of; because, namely, at that time, being doubtless yet but young, it is not able to stretch its wings towards the South. But that annual plumage is described, which is renewed, as the old feathers become loose.
Gregory the Dialogist· Morals on the Book of Job, Book XXXI, 604Patristic
