SWALLOW . 1 . dÄ•rôr ( Psalms 84:3 , Proverbs 26:2 ). The allusion to the nesting of this bird in the sanctuary and its swift (unalighting) flight fits the swallow. 2 . ‘âgûr ( Isaiah 38:14 , Jeremiah 8:7 ). See Crane. 3 . sûs, sîs , should be tr. [Note: translate or translation.] as in RV [Note: Revised Version.] ( Isaiah 38:14 , Jeremiah 8:7 ), ‘swallow’ instead of ‘ crane ’ (AV [Note: Authorized Version.] ). See Crane. Some ten species of swallows and swifts or martins are common in the Holy Land.
