Strong's Lexicon dayyah: Vulture, Kite Original Word: דַּיָּה Part of Speech: Noun Feminine Transliteration: dayah Pronunciation: dah-yah Phonetic Spelling: (dah-yaw') Definition: a falcon Meaning: A bird of prey, specifically a falcon or vulture. Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to fly swiftly. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for דַּיָּה in the Strong's Greek Concordance, 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 discussions about dietary laws and their relevance to Christian practice (e.g., Acts 10:12-15). Usage: The term דַּיָּה is used in the context of unclean birds in the Hebrew Bible, particularly in the lists of animals that are not to be consumed by the Israelites. Context: The Hebrew word דַּיָּה (dayyah) appears in the context of the dietary laws given to the Israelites, where it is listed among the unclean birds. In Leviticus 11:14 and Deuteronomy 14:13, the term is used to describe a bird of prey, often translated as "falcon" or "vulture" in English versions of the Bible. The Berean Standard Bible translates it as "falcon." These birds are characterized by their keen eyesight and swift flight, making them effective hunters. The inclusion of the דַּיָּה in the list of unclean animals underscores the broader biblical theme of distinguishing between clean and unclean, holy and common, as part of the covenantal relationship between God and Israel. The specific identification of the דַּיָּה has been debated, with some scholars suggesting it may refer to various species of raptors found in the ancient Near East.
