ExplanationCommentary
Verse 13. Ringtail (ixion). Hebrew raa. The same bird seems to be called dae in Leviticus, by the change of the first letter, though it is there translated the kite. The ixion is a sort of white, quick-sighted vulture.—Kite. Hebrew diae, according to Bochart, means the vulture, as Isaias (34:15,) insinuates that this bird goes in flocks, while the kite is a solitary bird.
