Leviticus 11:15
any kind of raven,
BSB
ASV
every raven after its kind,
KJV
Every raven after his kind;
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
Every raven after his kind. The red raven, night raven, the water raven, river raven, wood raven, &c. this also includes crows, rooks, pies, jays, and jackdaws, &c. The raven was with the Heathens sacred to Apollo (o), is a voracious creature, and so reckoned among unclean ones, and unfit for food; nor does the care that God takes of these creatures, or the use he has made of them, contradict this; see Job 38:41. (o) Aelian. De Animal. l. 1. c. 48. & l. 7. c. 18.
