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 fly by thy industry and stretch her wings toward the south?

27 Does the eagle mount up at thy command and make her nest on high?

28 She dwells and abides on the rock upon the crag of the rock and the strong place.

29 From there she seeks food, and her eyes behold afar off.

30 Her young ones suck up the blood; and wherever the slain are, there she is.
