On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

Of all clean fowls you may eat. [4.] They are further forbidden, First, To eat the flesh of any creature that died of itself, because the blood was not separated from it, and, besides the ceremonial uncleanness which it lay under (from Lev. xi. 39 ), it is not wholesome food, nor ordinarily used among us, except by the poor.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

gier eagle--The Hebrew word Rachemah is manifestly identical with Rachamah, the name which the Arabs give to the common vulture of Western Asia and Egypt (Neophron percnopterus). [See on Le 11:18]. cormorant--rather, the plungeon; a seafowl. [See on Le 11:17].
