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 numquid per sapientiam tuam plumescit accipiter expandens alas suas ad austrum

27 aut ad praeceptum tuum elevabitur aquila et in arduis ponet nidum suum

28 in petris manet et in praeruptis silicibus commoratur atque inaccessis rupibus

29 inde contemplatur escam et de longe oculi eius prospiciunt

30 pulli eius lambent sanguinem et ubicumque cadaver fuerit statim adest
