Hawk. Leviticus 11:16; Deuteronomy 14:15; Job 39:26. The hawk includes various species of the Falconidae. With respect to the passage in Job (l.c). which appears to allude to the migratory habits of hawks, it is curious to observe that of the ten or twelve lesser raptors (hawk tribe) of Palestine, nearly all are summer migrants. The kestrel remains all the year, but the others are all migrants from the south.
