While not a direct equivalent, it is used in the New Testament to denote birds in a broader sense, encompassing various species, including those considered unclean in the Old Testament context. Usage: The word "da'ah" is used in the context of the dietary laws given to the Israelites, where it is listed among the unclean birds that are not to be eaten. Context: The Hebrew word דָּאָה (da'ah) appears in the context of the Mosaic Law, specifically in the list of unclean birds in Leviticus 11:14 and Deuteronomy 14:13. The kite, known for its distinctive flight patterns and predatory nature, is grouped with other birds of prey that are considered unclean for consumption by the Israelites. The kite's inclusion in this list underscores the broader biblical theme of distinguishing between clean and unclean animals, a distinction that serves to set the Israelites apart as a holy people. The kite's behavior, characterized by its ability to swoop down swiftly on its prey, is reflective of the Hebrew root from which the word is derived, emphasizing its nature as a swift and agile bird.
