'Feathers' in the Bible
And he is to take away its stomach, with its feathers, and put it down by the east side of the altar, where the burned waste is put:
As an eagle, teaching her young to make their flight, with her wings outstretched over them, takes them up on her strong feathers:
Is the wing of the ostrich feeble, or is it because she has no feathers,
Will you take your rest among the flocks? like the wings of a dove covered with silver, and its feathers with yellow gold.
You will be covered by his feathers; under his wings you will be safe: his good faith will be your salvation.
And say, This is what the Lord has said: A great eagle with great wings, full of long feathers of different colours, came to Lebanon, and took the top of the cedar:
And there was another eagle with great wings and thick feathers: and now this vine, pushing out its roots to him, sent out its branches in his direction from the bed where it was planted, so that he might give it water.
That very hour the order about Nebuchadnezzar was put into effect: and he was sent out from among men, and had grass for his food like the oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till his hair became long as eagles' feathers and his nails like those of birds.
