Swallow

Listen from:
(throat sweller). The common swift or swallow abounds in Palestine, and its habits, according to Bible mention, are such as we observe: building under the eaves of houses, beneath temple cornices and porticos, and in the sides of cliffs, and rapidly circling above their homes in search of their aerial food (Psa. 84:3; Prov. 26:2; Isa. 38:14; Jer. 8:7).
