OLD TESTAMENT: SOME FOWLS:
THE DOVE & THE FLOOD:
:
Genesis 7:1-3,10,13,24
[1]Then the Lord said to Noah, “Come into the ark, you and all your household, because I have seen that you are righteous before Me in this generation.
[2]You shall take with you seven each of every clean animal, a male and his female; two each of animals that are unclean, a male and his female;
[3]also seven each of birds of the air, male and female, to keep the species alive on the face of all the earth.
[10]And it came to pass after seven days that the waters of the flood were on the earth.
[13]On the very same day Noah and Noah’s sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth, and Noah’s wife and the three wives of his sons with them, entered the ark—
[24]And the waters prevailed on the earth one hundred and fifty days.
THE RAVEN:
Genesis 8:1,4,6-7,19
[1]Then God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the animals that were with him in the ark. And God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters subsided.
[4]Then the ark rested in the seventh month, the seventeenth day of the month, on the mountains of Ararat.
[6]So it came to pass, at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made.
[7]Then he sent out a raven, which kept going to and fro until the waters had dried up from the earth.
[19]Every animal, every creeping thing, every bird, and whatever creeps on the earth, according to their families, went out of the ark. God’s Covenant with Creation.
Leviticus 11:1,13,15
[13]‘And these you shall regard as an abomination among the birds; they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination: the eagle, the vulture, the buzzard,
[15]every raven after its kind...
1 Kings 17:1-4,6
[1]And Elijah the Tishbite, of the inhabitants of Gilead, said to Ahab, “As the Lord God of Israel lives, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, except at my word.”
[2]Then the word of the Lord came to him, saying,
[3]“Get away from here and turn eastward, and hide by the Brook Cherith, which flows into the Jordan.
[4]And it will be that you shall drink from the brook, and I have commanded the ravens to feed you there.”
[6]The ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning, and bread and meat in the evening; and he drank from the brook.
THE QUAIL:
Exodus 16:11-13
[11]And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
[12]“I have heard the complaints of the children of Israel. Speak to them, saying, ‘At twilight you shall eat meat, and in the morning you shall be filled with bread. And you shall know that I am the Lord your God.’ ”
[13]So it was that quails came up at evening and covered the camp, and in the morning the dew lay all around the camp.
Numbers 11:13-14,18,31-32
[13]Where am I to get meat to give to all these people? For they weep all over me, saying, ‘Give us meat, that we may eat.’
[14]I am not able to bear all these people alone, because the burden is too heavy for me.
[18]Then you shall say to the people, ‘Consecrate yourselves for tomorrow, and you shall eat meat; for you have wept in the hearing of the Lord, saying, “Who will give us meat to eat? For it was well with us in Egypt.” Therefore the Lord will give you meat, and you shall eat.
[31]Now a wind went out from the Lord, and it brought quail from the sea and left them fluttering near the camp, about a day’s journey on this side and about a day’s journey on the other side, all around the camp, and about two cubits above the surface of the ground.
[32]And the people stayed up all that day, all night, and all the next day, and gathered the quail (he who gathered least gathered ten homers); and they spread them out for themselves all around the camp.
Psalms 105:1,26-27,40
[1]Oh, give thanks to the Lord! Call upon His name; Make known His deeds among the peoples!
[26]He sent Moses His servant, And Aaron whom He had chosen.
[27]They performed His signs among them, And wonders in the land of Ham.
[40]The people asked, and He brought quail, And satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
