SCRIPTURE
"On the cliff she dwelleth, and maketh her home, Upon the point of the cliff, and the stronghold." — Job 39:28 (ASV)
She dwells and abides on the rock, upon the crag of the rock, and the strong place Where she and her young are safe: so Pliny
FOOTNOTES:
- F18: Nat. Hist. l. 10. 3. F18 says, eagles make their nests in rocks, even in the precipices of them, as the philosopher quoted in the preceding verse; and here on the tooth, edge, or precipice of the rock, which is inaccessible, and so like a strong fortified place.
