Strong's Lexicon daah: Kite Original Word: דָּאָה Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: da'ah Pronunciation: dah-ah Phonetic Spelling: (daw-aw') Definition: Kite Meaning: to dart, fly rapidly Word Origin: From an unused root meaning to dart or fly swiftly Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance for "da'ah," as the Greek New Testament does not contain a parallel list of unclean birds. However, the concept of unclean animals is addressed in the New Testament, particularly in Acts 10:14, where Peter speaks of not eating anything impure or unclean. Usage: The Hebrew word "da'ah" refers to a type of bird, specifically a kite, which is a bird of prey known for its keen eyesight and ability to soar high in the sky. In the context of the Bible, it is often mentioned in lists of unclean animals that the Israelites were prohibited from eating. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, birds of prey like the kite were considered unclean according to the dietary laws outlined in the Torah. These laws were part of the broader Levitical code that distinguished between clean and unclean animals, serving both health purposes and symbolic functions to set the Israelites apart as a holy people. The kite, with its scavenging habits, was associated with death and decay, which contributed to its classification as unclean.
