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 Does the hawk take flight by your understanding and spread its wings to the south?

27 Does the eagle soar at your command and make its nest on high?

28 It lives on a cliff where it spends the night; its stronghold is on a rocky crag.

29 From there it searches for prey; its eyes penetrate the distance.
