Commentators generally agree with the LXX. and Vulgate that the Hoopoe is the bird intended. According to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_Bochart" class="extiw" title="w:Samuel Bochart">Bochart</a>, these four different interpretations have been assigned to duci-phath: — 1. The <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sadducees" class="extiw" title="w:Sadducees">Sadducees</a> supposed the bird in-tsnded to be the common hen, which they therefore refused to eat. 2. Another interpretation understands the cock of the woods (</i><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_capercaillie" class="extiw" title="w:Western capercaillie">Tetrao Urogallus</a>). 3. Other interpreters think the altagen (?) is meant. 4. The last interpretation is the Hoopoe. Many, and curious in some instances, are the derivations proposed for the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hebrew" class="extiw" title="w:Hebrew">Hebrew</a> word, but the most probable one is the mountain-cock. It must, however, be remarked that the observations of the habits of the hoopoe recorded by modern zoologists do not appear to warrant the assertion that it is so pre-eminently a mountain-bird as has been implied above. Marshy ground, ploughed land, wooded districts, such as are near to water, are more especially its favorite haunts. The hoopoe was accounted<i><br></i>

It seems to have been always regarded, both by Arabians and Greeks, with superstitious reverence. It is nearly as large as a pigeon. Its crest is very elegant, the long feathers forming it are each of them tipped with black.La-sea (fr. Gr. Lasaia; also written La-stca LAS LAV 533 (-seeah)) (Acts xxvii. 8).

But in January, 1856, a yachting party made inquiries at Fair Havens, and were told that the name Lasea was still given to some ruins a few miles E. A short search sufficed to discover these ruins, and independent testimony confirmed the name. Lasha (fr. Heb. = chink, fissure, Ges.), a placeno</i><br><br><b>Note About Images</b><br></p>
