'Feathers' in the Bible
As an eagle that stirs up her nest, that flutters over her young, he spread abroad his wings, he took them, he bore them on his feathers.
"The wings of the ostrich wave proudly; but are they the feathers and plumage of love?
while you sleep among the campfires, the wings of a dove sheathed with silver, her feathers with shining gold.
He will cover you with his feathers. Under his wings you will take refuge. His faithfulness is your shield and rampart.
and say, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: A great eagle with great wings and long feathers, full of feathers, which had various colors, came to Lebanon, and took the top of the cedar:
There was also another great eagle with great wings and many feathers: and behold, this vine did bend its roots toward him, and shot forth its branches toward him, from the beds of its plantation, that he might water it.
The same hour was the thing fulfilled on Nebuchadnezzar: and he was driven from men, and ate grass as oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of the sky, until his hair was grown like eagles' [feathers], and his nails like birds' [claws].
