OSPREY

A bird or prey mentioned only in the lists of unclean animals (Lev. 11:13; Deut. 14:12; Heb. ʿoznîyâ). The exact species is impossible to determine based on the scant biblical references, but talmudic tradition supports the bird’s identification as the osprey (Pandion haliaëtus), a large fish-eating hawk. Other possible candidates are the harrier (or short-toed) eagle (Circaëtus gallicus; cf. Aram. ʿûzyāʾ, “sea-eagle”; so LXX), the bearded vulture (Gypaëtus barbatus aureus), or the black vulture (Aegypius [or Vultur] monachus).

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
