Deuteronomy 14:12

Context
14:12 These are the ones you may not eat: the eagle, 1  the vulture, 2  the black vulture, 3 

1 tn NEB “the griffon-vulture.”

2 tn The Hebrew term פֶּרֶס (peres) describes a large vulture otherwise known as the ossifrage (cf. KJV). This largest of the vultures takes its name from its habit of dropping skeletal remains from a great height so as to break the bones apart.

3 tn The Hebrew term עָזְנִיָּה (’ozniyyah) may describe the black vulture (so NIV) or it may refer to the osprey (so NAB, NRSV, NLT), an eagle-like bird subsisting mainly on fish.
