FOOTNOTES:

F18 says, eagles make their nests in rocks, even in the precipices of them, as the philosopher quoted in the preceding verse; and here on the tooth, edge, or precipice of the rock, which is inaccessible, and so like a strong fortified place.

Job 39:28 In-Context

26 Is it by thy wisdom that the hawk soareth, (And) stretcheth her wings toward the south?

27 Is it at thy command that the eagle mounteth up, And maketh her nest on high?

28 On the cliff she dwelleth, and maketh her home, Upon the point of the cliff, and the stronghold.

29 From thence she spieth out the prey; Her eyes behold it afar off.

30 Her young ones also suck up blood: And where the slain are, there is she.
