Deuteronomy 14:13-14

14:13 the kite, the black kite, the dayyah after its species, 14:14 every raven after its species,

Deuteronomy 14:16

14:16 the little owl, the long-eared owl, the white owl,

tn The Hebrew term is דַּיָּה (dayyah). This, with the previous two terms (רָאָה [raah] and אַיָּה [’ayyah]), is probably a kite of some species but otherwise impossible to specify.

tn The Hebrew term תִּנְשֶׁמֶת (tinshemet) may refer to a species of owl (cf. ASV “horned owl”; NASB, NIV, NLT “white owl”) or perhaps even to the swan (so KJV); cf. NRSV “water hen.”
