Exodus 16:13 (King James Version)
And it came to pass, that at even the quails came up, and covered the camp: and in the morning the dew lay round about the host.
- the quails
- The Hebrew {selav,} Chaldee {selaiv,} Syriac and Arabic {selwa,} is without doubt the quail: so the LXX. render it
- [ortygomtre,] a large kind of quail. Josephus, [ortyx,]
- Ethopic, {ferferat,} and Vulgate, {coturnices,} quails, with which agree Philo and the Rabbins. The quail is a bird of the gallinaceous kind, somewhat less than a pigeon, but larger than a sparrow. Hasselquist describes the quail of the larger kind as very much resembling the red partridge, but not larger than the turtle dove; found in Judea as well as in the deserts of Arabia Petra and Egypt; and affording a most agreeable and delicate dish. Numbers 11:31-33 ; Psalms 78:27 Psalms 78:28 ; 105:40
