However, the concept of unclean birds is present in the Greek term "ὄρνεον" (G3732), which refers to birds in general, including those considered unclean.<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The term "qayah" refers to a type of bird, specifically a kite, which is a bird of prey. In the context of the Bible, it is often associated with unclean animals that the Israelites were prohibited from eating according to the dietary laws outlined in the Torah.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, birds of prey like the kite were considered unclean due to their scavenging nature and diet, which often included carrion. The kite, known for its keen eyesight and ability to soar high in the sky, was a common sight in the regions of the Middle East. The Israelites, guided by the Mosaic Law, distinguished between clean and unclean animals, and birds like the kite were categorized as unclean, reflecting broader cultural and religious practices concerning purity and dietary restrictions.<div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>spue <p>A primitive root; to vomit -- spue. <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>וּקְי֔וּ וקיו ū·qə·yū ukeYu ūqəyū<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/jeremiah/25-27.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Jeremiah 25:27</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/jeremiah/25.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">שְׁת֤וּ וְשִׁכְרוּ֙ <b> וּקְי֔וּ </b> וְנִפְל֖וּ וְלֹ֣א</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/jeremiah/25.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> Drink, be drunk, <span class="itali">vomit,</span> fall and rise<br><a href="/kjvs/jeremiah/25.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> ye, and be drunken, <span class="itali">and spue,</span> and fall,<br><a href="/interlinear/jeremiah/25-27.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> Drink be drunk <span class="itali">vomit</span> fall no<p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_7006.htm">1 Occurrence</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_7006.htm">Strong's Hebrew 7006<br>1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/ukeyu_7006.htm">ū·qə·yū — 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'; </script> <script id="b817b7107f1d4a7997da1b3c33457e03"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=cb0edd8b-b416-47eb-8c6d-3cc96561f7e8&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-2'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-0' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-3'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-1' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div align="center" id='div-gpt-ad-1531425649696-0'> </div><br /><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:200px;height:200px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3753401421161123" data-ad-slot="3592799687"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script><br /><br /> </div> <div id="left"><a href="/hebrew/7005.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="7005"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="7005" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/7006a.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="7006a"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="7006a" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhchap.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
