ExplanationCommentary
Verse 8. Sparrow. Hebrew Tsippor means any “quick moving” bird, and so forth (Idem.) and as the sparrow is not a solitary bird, it may here signify the owl. Bochart. Calmet.—But these etymological reasons are not very certain, nor important. Bible.—We may adhere to the Septuagint as many interpreters do. Bert.—The sparrow having lost its mate, mourns in or near its nest. Worthington.
