It is used in the Old Testament to describe various types of birds, emphasizing their ability to fly. This term encompasses all avian life, from small sparrows to large eagles, and is often used in contexts that highlight the diversity and abundance of God's creation.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, birds held significant cultural and religious symbolism. They were seen as creatures of freedom and grace, often representing the divine provision and care of God. Birds were also used in sacrificial rituals, as seen in the offerings described in Leviticus. The presence of birds in the biblical narrative often serves as a reminder of God's sovereignty over creation and His attention to even the smallest details of life.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>(Aramaic) corresponding to <a href="/hebrew/5775.htm">oph</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>fowl<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>bird (1), birds (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>fowl <p>(Aramaic) corresponding to <a href="/hebrew/5775.htm">owph</a> -- fowl. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/5775.htm">owph</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>וְעוֹף־ ועוף־ ע֖וֹף עוף ‘ō·wp̄ ‘ōwp̄ of veof wə‘ōwp̄- wə·‘ō·wp̄-<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/daniel/2-38.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Daniel 2:38</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/daniel/2.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">חֵיוַ֨ת בָּרָ֤א <b> וְעוֹף־ </b> שְׁמַיָּא֙ יְהַ֣ב</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/daniel/2.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> of the field, <span class="itali">or the birds</span> of the sky,<br><a href="/kjvs/daniel/2.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> of the field <span class="itali">and the fowls</span> of the heaven<br><a href="/interlinear/daniel/2-38.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> the beasts of the field <span class="itali">the birds</span> of the sky has given<p><b><a href="/text/daniel/7-6.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Daniel 7:6</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/daniel/7.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">אַרְבַּ֛ע דִּי־ <b> ע֖וֹף </b> עַל־ [גַּבַּיַּהּ</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/daniel/7.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> wings <span class="itali">of a bird;</span> the beast<br><a href="/kjvs/daniel/7.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> wings <span class="itali">of a fowl;</span> the beast<br><a href="/interlinear/daniel/7-6.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> four which <span class="itali">of a bird</span> had upon back<p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_5776.htm">2 Occurrences</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_5776.htm">Strong's Hebrew 5776<br>2 Occurrences</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/of_5776.htm">‘ō·wp̄ — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/veof_5776.htm">wə·‘ō·wp̄- — 1 Occ.</a><br></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="mdd"><div align="center"><div class="bot2"><table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td><div align="center"> <script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405';
