In the Bible, ravens are often associated with desolation and wilderness but also with God's provision and care, as seen in the account of Elijah.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern cultures, ravens were often seen as symbols of mystery and the unknown due to their black plumage and scavenging nature. Despite their association with uncleanliness in Levitical law (Leviticus 11:15), ravens are depicted in the Bible as instruments of God's providence, notably when they fed Elijah during a time of drought (1 Kings 17:4-6).<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from the same as <a href="/hebrew/6153.htm">ereb</a><br><span
