Berean Strong's Lexicon anaphah: Heron Original Word: אָנָפָה Word Origin: Derived from the root אָנַף (anaph), meaning "to be angry" or "to breathe hard." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for "anaphah" in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as the term specifically refers to a Hebrew classification of birds within the Old Testament context. Usage: The term "anaphah" refers to a type of bird, specifically the heron, mentioned in the context of dietary laws in the Old Testament. The heron is listed among the unclean birds that the Israelites were forbidden to eat. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, dietary laws were a significant aspect of religious and cultural identity. The heron, being a water bird, was considered unclean according to Levitical law. This classification was part of a broader system of purity that distinguished between clean and unclean animals, influencing the daily lives and spiritual practices of the Israelites. The heron's inclusion in the list of unclean birds reflects the broader cultural and religious context of the time, where certain animals were avoided to maintain ritual purity.
