'Eggs' in the Bible
“If you happen to come upon a bird’s nest along the way, in any tree or on the ground, with young ones or eggs, and the mother sitting on the young or on the eggs, you shall not take the mother with the young;
For she abandons her eggs to the earthAnd warms them in the dust,
And my hand reached to the riches of the peoples like a nest,And as one gathers abandoned eggs, I gathered all the earth;And there was not one that flapped its wing or opened its beak or chirped.”
The tree snake will make its nest and lay eggs there,And it will hatch and gather them under its protection.Yes, the hawks will be gathered there,Every one with its kind.
They hatch adders’ eggs and weave the spider’s web;He who eats of their eggs dies,And from that which is crushed a snake breaks forth.
“As a partridge that hatches eggs which it has not laid,So is he who makes a fortune, but unjustly;In the midst of his days it will forsake him,And in the end he will be a fool.”
