The Hebrew word often translated as "fowl" is עוֹף (oph), which broadly means "flying creatures." This term is used throughout the Old and New Testaments to describe birds in various contexts, including creation, dietary laws, and symbolism. Creation and Dominion The creation account in Genesis highlights the significance of fowl as part of God's creative work. On the fifth day, God created the birds to fill the skies: "And God said, 'Let the waters teem with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth in the open expanse of the sky.' So God created the great sea creatures and every living thing that moves, with which the waters teemed, according to their kinds, and every bird of flight, according to its kind. And God saw that it was good" (<a href="/genesis/1-20.htm">Genesis 1:20-21</a>). This passage underscores the diversity and beauty of avian life as part of the divine order. God granted humans dominion over the fowl, along with other creatures: "Then God said, 'Let Us make man in Our image, after Our likeness, to rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, and over all the earth itself and every creature that crawls upon it'" (<a href="/genesis/1-26.htm">Genesis 1:26</a>). This dominion implies stewardship and responsibility for the care of all living creatures, including birds. Dietary Laws In the Mosaic Law, specific birds were deemed clean or unclean, affecting their suitability for consumption. <a href="/bsb/leviticus/11.htm">Leviticus 11</a> and <a href="/bsb/deuteronomy/14.htm">Deuteronomy 14</a> provide detailed lists of birds that the Israelites were permitted or forbidden to eat. Clean birds, such as doves and pigeons, were often used in sacrifices, while unclean birds, like eagles and vultures, were prohibited: "But these you shall regard as unclean among the birds; they are detestable: the eagle, the vulture, the black vulture" (<a href="/leviticus/11-13.htm">Leviticus 11:13</a>). These dietary laws were part of the broader covenantal framework that set Israel apart as a holy nation. Symbolism and Imagery Fowl are frequently used symbolically in Scripture, representing various spiritual truths and moral lessons. For instance, Jesus uses birds to illustrate God's providential care: "Look at the birds of the air: They do not sow or reap or gather into barns—and yet your Heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?" (<a href="/matthew/6-26.htm">Matthew 6:26</a>). This teaching encourages trust in God's provision and care for His people. In prophetic literature, birds often symbolize nations or peoples. For example, in Ezekiel's vision of the cedar tree, birds represent the nations that find shelter in the branches: "All the birds of the air nested in its branches; all the beasts of the field gave birth beneath it; all the great nations lived in its shade" (<a href="/ezekiel/31-6.htm">Ezekiel 31:6</a>). This imagery conveys the idea of protection and refuge under God's sovereign rule. Sacrificial Use Birds, particularly doves and pigeons, were commonly used in sacrificial offerings, especially for those who could not afford larger animals. In Leviticus, specific instructions are given for bird offerings: "If, however, he cannot afford a lamb, he may bring to the LORD two turtledoves or two young pigeons as a penalty for his sin—one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering" (<a href="/leviticus/5-7.htm">Leviticus 5:7</a>). This provision highlights God's accommodation for the poor, ensuring that all could participate in the sacrificial system. Conclusion Throughout the Bible, fowl serve as a testament to God's creative power, His provision, and His intricate laws governing the life of His people. Whether in the context of creation, dietary regulations, or spiritual symbolism, birds are woven into the biblical narrative, reflecting the richness and depth of God's interaction with His creation.<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div>FowlSeveral distinct Hebrew and Greek words are thus rendered in the English Bible. Of these the most common is oph , which is usually a collective term for all kinds of birds. In (<a href="/1_kings/4-23.htm">1 Kings 4:23</a>) among the daily provisions for Solomon's table "fatted fowl" are included.

Old Testament Terms and References: The word most frequently translated "fowl" is `oph from `uph, "to cover," hence, wing; it is used collectively for birds and fowl in general (<a href="/genesis/1-20.htm">Genesis 1:20</a>, etc.; ; <a href="/genesis/2-19.htm">Genesis 2:19, 20</a>, etc.); `ayit (from `ut, "to rush") means a ravenous beasts; or bird of prey, used collectively of ravenous birds (<a href="/genesis/15-11.htm">Genesis 15:11</a> the King James Version; <a href="/isaiah/18-6.htm">Isaiah 18:6</a> the King James Version "fowls"; <a href="/job/28-7.htm">Job 28:7</a>, "a path which no fowl knoweth," the Revised Version (British and American) "no bird of prey"); in <a href="/isaiah/46-11.htm">Isaiah 46:11</a> it is used as a symbol of a conqueror (compare <a href="/jeremiah/12-9.htm">Jeremiah 12:9</a>, "bird," "birds of prey"; <a href="/ezekiel/39-4.htm">Ezekiel 39:4</a>, "ravenous birds"); tsippor, Aramaic tsippar (from tsaphar, "to twitter or chirp"), "a chirper," denotes a small bird or sparrow (<a href="/deuteronomy/4-17.htm">Deuteronomy 4:17</a> the King James Version; <a href="/nehemiah/5-18.htm">Nehemiah 5:18</a> <a href="/daniel/4-14.htm">Daniel 4:14</a>); to give the carcasses of men to the fowls (birds) of the air was an image of destruction (<a href="/deuteronomy/28-26.htm">Deuteronomy 28:26</a> the King James Version; <a href="/1_samuel/17-44.htm">1 Samuel 17:44, 46</a> <a href="/psalms/79-2.htm">Psalm 79:2</a> <a href="/jeremiah/7-33.htm">Jeremiah 7:33</a>, etc.); barburim, rendered (<a href="/1_kings/4-23.htm">1 Kings 4:23</a>) "fatted fowl" (among the provisions for Solomon's table for one day), is probably a mimetic word, like Greek barbaros, Latin murmuro, English babble, perhaps denoting geese from their cackle (Gesenius, from barar, "to cleanse," referring to their white plumage; but other derivations and renderings are given). They might have been ducks or swans. They could have been guineas or pigeons. The young of the ostrich was delicious food, and no doubt when Solomon's ships brought peafowl they also brought word that they were a delicacy for a king's table. The domestic fowl was not common so early in Palestine,but it may have been brought by Solomon with other imports from the East; in New Testament times chickens were common; ba`al kanaph, "owner of a wing," is used for a bird of any kind in <a href="/proverbs/1-17.htm">Proverbs 1:17</a>. "In vain is the net spread in the sight of any bird," the King James Version margin Hebrew, "in the eyes of everything that hath a wing." 2. In the Levitical Law: In the Levitical law fowls (birds) were distinguished as clean and unclean (<a href="/leviticus/11-13.htm">Leviticus 11:13</a> <a href="/deuteronomy/14-11.htm">Deuteronomy 14:11-20</a>; compare <a href="/genesis/8-20.htm">Genesis 8:20</a>); the first were allowed to be eaten because they fed on grains, seeds, and vegetables; the second were forbidden because they fed on flesh and carrion. 3. New Testament References and Illustrative Uses: In the New Testament the common word for "fowl" is peteinon, "winged fowl." "The fowls of the air" (the Revised Version (British and American) "the birds of the heaven") are pointed to by our Lord as examples of the providential care of God (<a href="/matthew/6-26.htm">Matthew 6:26</a> <a href="/luke/12-24.htm">Luke 12:24</a>); in another connection the "sparrows" (strouthion) sold cheap, probably for food, are so employed (<a href="/matthew/10-29.htm">Matthew 10:29</a>, "Are not two sparrows sold for a penny?" <a href="/luke/12-6.htm">Luke 12:6</a>, "five. for two pence"); their quickly picking up seeds from the ground is made to illustrate the influences which render "the word" powerless (<a href="/matthew/13-4.htm">Matthew 13:4</a>); their being sheltered in the branches, the growth of the kingdom (<a href="/matthew/13-32.htm">Matthew 13:32</a>, peteinon); the hen's (ornis) sheltering care for her chickens, His desire to protect and save Jerusalem (<a href="/matthew/23-37.htm">Matthew 23:37</a>; compare APC 2Esdras 1:30; <a href="/ruth/2-12.htm">Ruth 2:12</a>); the fowls were shown in vision to Peter as among the things made clean by God (<a href="/acts/10-12.htm">Acts 10:12</a>; <a href="/acts/11-6.htm">Acts 11:6</a>); in <a href="/revelation/18-2.htm">Revelation 18:2</a>; <a href="/revelation/19-17.htm">Revelation 19:17, 21</a>, orneon, "bird," "fowl," a carnivorous bird (the Revised Version (British and American) "bird"), is the representative of desolation and of destruction. For "fowls" the American Standard Revised Version has "birds" (<a href="/genesis/6-7.htm">Genesis 6:7, 20</a>; <a href="/genesis/7-3.htm">Genesis 7:3</a> <a href="/leviticus/20-25.htm">Leviticus 20:25</a> <a href="/acts/10-12.htm">Acts 10:12</a>; <a href="/acts/11-6.htm">Acts 11:6</a>; with the English Revised Version <a href="/matthew/6-26.htm">Matthew 6:26</a>; <a href="/matthew/13-4.htm">Matthew 13:4</a> <a href="/mark/4-4.htm">Mark 4:4, 32</a> <a href="/luke/8-5.htm">Luke 8:5</a>; <a href="/luke/12-24.htm">Luke 12:24</a>; <a href="/luke/13-19.htm">Luke 13:19</a>); for "every feathered fowl" (<a href="/ezekiel/39-17.htm">Ezekiel 39:17</a>), the Revised Version (British and American) has "the birds of every sort"; for "all fowls that creep" (<a href="/leviticus/11-20.htm">Leviticus 11:20</a>) and for "every flying creeping thing" (<a href="/leviticus/11-21.htm">Leviticus 11:21</a>), "all winged creeping things."
