Scripture Alphabet of Animals: The Turtle-Dove

Wood Stork at S. Lake Howard Nature Park
Scripture Alphabet of Animals: The Stork
By Harriet N. Cook (1814-1843)
The Bible name of this bird means gentleness or affection, and the stork very well deserves such a name. It is very kind indeed to its young ones, and takes pains to find some things for them that it does not itself eat. It is said that when a house….

Scripture Alphabet of Animals: The Locust
By Harriet N. Cook (1814-1843)

Scripture Alphabet of Animals: The Mole
By Harriet N. Cook (1814-1843)
I remember but two places in the Bible where this animal is mentioned. One is in Leviticus, where it is named among the unclean animals which the Israelites were forbidden to eat; and the other is this verse in the second chapter of Isaiah:
In that day a man shall cast his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which they made each one for himself to worship, to the moles and to the bats.

Timber Wolves by Ray

Common Nighthawk by Neal Addy
Scripture Alphabet of Animals: The Night-Hawk
By Harriet N. Cook (1814-1843)
I believe this is the only animal of any kind mentioned in the Bible, the name of which begins with N. It is named in the 11th chapter of Leviticus, among other birds, such as the owl, the cuckoo and the raven, which the children of Israel were not allowed to eat.
And the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckow, and the hawk after his kind, (Leviticus 11:16 KJV)
It is somewhat like the owl in its shape, and in its large, full, round eyes….
