'Flying' in the Bible
Every teeming creature which is flying, which is going on four -- an abomination it is to you.
Only -- this ye do eat of any teeming thing which is flying, which is going on four, which hath legs above its feet, to move with them on the earth;
and every teeming thing which is flying, which hath four feet -- an abomination it is to you.
and every teeming thing which is flying, unclean it is to you; they are not eaten;
As a bird by wandering, as a swallow by flying, So reviling without cause doth not come.
Rejoice not thou, Philistia, all of thee, That broken hath been the rod of thy smiter, For from the root of a serpent cometh out a viper, And its fruit is a flying saraph.
The burden of the beasts of the south. Into a land of adversity and distress, Of young lion and of old lion, Whence are viper and flying saraph, They carry on the shoulder of asses their wealth, And on the hump of camels their treasures, Unto a people not profitable.
As birds flying, so doth Jehovah of Hosts Cover over Jerusalem, covering and delivering, Passing over, and causing to escape.'
And I turn back, and lift up mine eyes, and look, and lo, a flying roll.
And he saith unto me, 'What art thou seeing?' And I say, 'I am seeing a flying roll, its length twenty by the cubit, and its breadth ten by the cubit.'
