Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to cry or to wail.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Greek entry for the ostrich is Strong's G4765 • στρουθός (strouthos). This term is used in the Septuagint and other Greek texts to refer to the ostrich, maintaining the connection between the Hebrew and Greek descriptions of this unique bird. Usage: The word "ya'en" is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe the ostrich, often highlighting its unique characteristics and behaviors. It appears in contexts that emphasize the bird's lack of wisdom and its peculiar nesting habits. Context: The ostrich, referred to as "ya'en" in Hebrew, is mentioned in several passages of the Old Testament. This bird is noted for its remarkable speed and its ability to run faster than most animals. In the book of Job, the ostrich is described in a manner that underscores its perceived lack of wisdom, particularly in the way it handles its eggs and young. Job 39:13-18 (BSB) provides a vivid depiction of the ostrich, highlighting its seemingly careless nature: "The wings of the ostrich flap joyfully, but cannot match the pinions and feathers of the stork. She abandons her eggs on the ground and lets them warm in the sand, unmindful that a foot may crush them or a wild animal may trample them. She treats her young harshly, as if they were not her own, with no concern that her labor was in vain. For God has deprived her of wisdom; He has not endowed her with understanding. Yet when she proudly spreads her wings, she laughs at the horse and its rider."
