Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to wail or cry out.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Greek entries for the Hebrew word רֶנֶ (renen) in the Strong's Concordance, as the Greek New Testament does not specifically mention ostriches. However, the concept of large birds or creatures might be indirectly related to Greek terms for birds or animals in general. Usage: The term רֶנֶ is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to the ostrich, often highlighting its unique characteristics and behaviors. Context: The Hebrew word רֶנֶ (renen) is used in the Old Testament to describe the ostrich, a bird noted for its distinctive features and behaviors. The ostrich is mentioned in contexts that emphasize its speed, its seemingly neglectful parenting habits, and its habitation in desolate places. In the book of Job, the ostrich is described as a creature that "leaves her eggs on the ground and lets them warm in the sand" (Job 39:14, BSB), highlighting its unusual nesting behavior. The ostrich's lack of wisdom is contrasted with its remarkable speed, as it "laughs at horse and rider" (Job 39:18, BSB), indicating its ability to outrun many threats. The ostrich is also mentioned in Lamentations 4:3, where it is used metaphorically to describe the cruelty of mothers in Jerusalem during the siege, as they are compared to ostriches in the wilderness. The biblical portrayal of the ostrich reflects both its physical attributes and its symbolic use in illustrating themes of neglect and survival in harsh conditions.
