It is used in the context of describing unclean birds that feed on carrion. The term is associated with creatures that are scavengers, highlighting their role in the ecosystem as cleaners of dead animals.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, vultures and other birds of prey were considered unclean according to the dietary laws outlined in the Torah (Leviticus 11:13-19; Deuteronomy 14:12-18). These birds were often seen as symbols of desolation and judgment, as they were typically found in areas of death and decay. Their presence was a reminder of the consequences of sin and the natural cycle of life and death.<div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> [<font class="hebrew2">עִיט</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>scream, shriek</b></font> (Arabic <img src="/bdbgif/bdb074306.gif">, <img src="/bdbgif/bdb074307.gif"> II. <em>scream, scold</em>,<img src="/bdbgif/bdb074308.gif"> <em>screaming, scolding</em>, Frey Dozy<sup>ii. 195</sup>;
