Crane. A large bird measuring four feet in height and seven feet from tip to tip of its extended wings. When upon the wing it is usually noisy, and its cry is hoarse and melancholy: hence the allusion of Isaiah 38:14. These birds return in the spring with great regularity from their migrations, and nocks of thousands pass over Palestine. Jeremiah 8:7. But the two Hebrew words sus and agur, rendered "crane" and "swallow," may signify the "swallow twittering" or "chattering."
