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.

F18 Nat. Hist. l. 10. 3.

Job 39:28 In-Context

26 Is it through your knowledge that the hawk takes his flight, stretching out his wings to the south?

27 Or is it by your orders that the eagle goes up, and makes his resting-place on high?

28 On the rock is his house, and on the mountain-top his strong place.

29 From there he is watching for food; his eye sees it far off.

30 His young have blood for their drink, and where the dead bodies are, there is he to be seen.
