Deuteronomy 14:13

The glede ; ra'ah ( רָאָה ). This word occurs only here, and it is supposed by some that, by an error of the copyist, substituting ר for ד , it has come instead of דָאָה , as used in Le Deuteronomy 11:14 . But it is more probable, as above suggested, that the da'ah of Leviticus is represented by the dayyah of Deuteronomy, and that consequently the reading ra'ah should be re-rained. This word, derived from רָאָה , to see, to look, would appropriately designate a bird of keen sight, one of the hawk species. The bird intended may be a buzzard, of which there are now several kinds in Palestine.
