Raven:
Heb. 'orebh, from a root meaning "to be black" (Sgs 5:11); first mentioned as "sent forth" by Noah from the ark (Gen 8:7). "Every raven after his kind" was forbidden as food (Lev 11:15; Deu 14:14). Ravens feed mostly on carrion, and hence their food is procured with difficulty (Job 38:41; Psa 147:9). When they attack kids or lambs or weak animals, it is said that they first pick out the eyes of their victims (Pro 30:17). When Elijah was concealed by the brook Cherith, God commanded the ravens to bring him "bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening" (1Ki 17:3-6). (See ELIJAH.)
There are eight species of ravens in Palestine, and they are everywhere very numerous in that land.
