However, the general concept of birds and their symbolic meanings can be found in various Greek entries related to birds, such as Strong's Greek Number 4071 (πετεινόν, peteinon), which refers to birds in general. Usage: The term עָגוּר is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote the swallow, a bird that is often associated with seasonal migration and is noted for its agility and vocalizations. Context: The Hebrew word עָגוּר (agur) appears in the context of the natural world, specifically referring to the swallow, a bird that is familiar in the regions of the ancient Near East. The swallow is mentioned in the Bible for its migratory patterns and its presence in various habitats, often symbolizing the changing seasons and the passage of time. In the Berean Standard Bible, the swallow is referenced in Isaiah 38:14, where it is used metaphorically to describe the mournful and plaintive cries of Hezekiah during his illness: "Like a swallow or a crane, I chirp; I moan like a dove. My eyes grow weak as I look upward. O Lord, I am oppressed; be my security." This imagery captures the swallow's characteristic sound and its association with lamentation and supplication. The swallow's behavior and life cycle serve as a reminder of the Creator's design and the intricate balance of nature.
