Job 39:28 Meaning and Commentary

Job 39:28

She dwelleth and abideth on the rock, upon the crag of the
rock, and the strong place.
] Where she and her young are safe: so Pliny

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 by your understanding that the hawk soars, Stretching his wings toward the south?
27 "Is it at your command that the eagle mounts up And makes his nest on high?
28 "On the cliff he dwells and lodges, Upon the rocky crag, an inaccessible place.
29 "From there he spies out food; His eyes see it from afar.
30 "His young ones also suck up blood; And where the slain are, there is he."
