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.

Job 39:28 In-Context

26 And does the hawk remain steady by thy wisdom, having spread out her wings unmoved, looking toward the region of the south?

27 And does the eagle rise at thy command, and the vulture remain sitting over his nest,

28 on a crag of a rock, and in a secret ?

29 Thence he seeks food, his eyes observe from far.

30 And his young ones roll themselves in blood, and wherever the carcasses may be, immediately they are found.
