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 your wisdom, And spread its wings toward the south?

27 Does the eagle mount up at your command, And make its nest on high?

28 On the rocks it dwells and resides, On the crag of the rock and the stronghold.

29 From there it spies out the prey; Its eyes observe from afar.

30 Its young ones suck up blood; And where the slain are, there it is."
