Strong's Lexicon qayah: Kite Original Word: קַיָּה Word Origin: From an unused root meaning to vomit or regurgitate Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance for "qayah," as the Greek New Testament does not specifically mention kites. However, the concept of unclean birds is present in the Greek term "ὄρνεον" (G3732), which refers to birds in general, including those considered unclean. Usage: The term "qayah" refers to a type of bird, specifically a kite, which is a bird of prey. In the context of the Bible, it is often associated with unclean animals that the Israelites were prohibited from eating according to the dietary laws outlined in the Torah. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, birds of prey like the kite were considered unclean due to their scavenging nature and diet, which often included carrion. The kite, known for its keen eyesight and ability to soar high in the sky, was a common sight in the regions of the Middle East. The Israelites, guided by the Mosaic Law, distinguished between clean and unclean animals, and birds like the kite were categorized as unclean, reflecting broader cultural and religious practices concerning purity and dietary restrictions.
