[tree →](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/judaism/E/eagle/#m2) ### sense in the lessons In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: A strong bird used as a picture of God's care: He carried Israel "on eagles' wings" and watches over them as an eagle over its nest. In poems it also stands for renewed strength and for swiftness. Interpretation: Rashi explains the eagle carries its young on its wings, not in its claws, since it fears only arrows from below, so it shields them with its own body; so God protects Israel. The psalm's "youth renewed like the eagle" is read as God's gift of fresh strength. In the primary lessons: In nature lessons, eagles are predators at the top of food chains; they hunt fish, rabbits and other animals. The bald eagle is the national bird of the USA; the wedge-tailed eagle lives in Australia. Phrases: eagle-eyed, golden eagle, bald eagle, eagle's nest (eyrie). ### examples - Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto Myself.
