Boyd’s Bible Dictionary
:
(throat sweller). The common swift or
swallow
abounds in
Palestine
, and its habits, according to
Bible
mention, are such as we observe: building under the eaves of houses, beneath temple cornices and porticos, and in the sides of cliffs, and rapidly circling above their homes in search of their aerial food (
Psa. 84:3
3
Yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even thine altars, O Lord of hosts, my King, and my God. (Psalm 84:3)
;
Prov. 26:2
2
As the bird by wandering, as the swallow by flying, so the curse causeless shall not come. (Proverbs 26:2)
;
Isa. 38:14
14
Like a crane or a swallow, so did I chatter: I did mourn as a dove: mine eyes fail with looking upward: O Lord, I am oppressed; undertake for me. (Isaiah 38:14)
;
Jer. 8:7
7
Yea, the stork in the heaven knoweth her appointed times; and the turtle and the crane and the swallow observe the time of their coming; but my people know not the judgment of the Lord. (Jeremiah 8:7)
).

Barn Swallow – Hirundo Rustica

deror
. This is interpreted “roving about,” which agrees well with the habits of the swallow or swift. They come and go, and are not domesticated (
Prov. 26:2
2
As the bird by wandering, as the swallow by flying, so the curse causeless shall not come. (Proverbs 26:2)
). In
Psalm 84:3
3
Yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even thine altars, O Lord of hosts, my King, and my God. (Psalm 84:3)

The Common
Crane
2.
agur
, mentioned with
the word
sis
, translated “crane” and “swallow;” but
sis
doubtless refers to the swallow, and
agur
to the crane. The swallow (or perhaps the swift) is mentioned as “chattering,” or having a “garrulous note,” and it is migratory (
Isa. 38:14
14
Like a crane or a swallow, so did I chatter: I did mourn as a dove: mine eyes fail with looking upward: O Lord, I am oppressed; undertake for me. (Isaiah 38:14)
;
Jer. 8:7
7
Yea, the stork in the heaven knoweth her appointed times; and the turtle and the crane and the swallow observe the time of their coming; but my people know not the judgment of the Lord. (Jeremiah 8:7)
). Several species of the swallow frequent
Palestine
: the
Hirundo rustica
,
H. rufula
, etc. A species of swift finds the
Jordan
valley
warm enough in the
winter
, and need not migrate.
