Hawk, Night (Tachmas)

From: Concise Bible Dictionary: H By: George A. Morrish

According to Gesenius this is the ostrich, but both the LXX and the Vulgate make it the night owl. It is classed among the unclean birds (Lev. 11:16¹⁶And the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckow, and the hawk after his kind, (Leviticus 11:16); Deut. 14:15¹⁵And the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckow, and the hawk after his kind, (Deuteronomy 14:15)).
