Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for אֲנָפָה in the Strong's Concordance, as the Greek Septuagint translation of the Hebrew Bible does not always provide a one-to-one correspondence for specific Hebrew terms, especially for terms related to specific animals or cultural items unique to the Hebrew context. Usage: The term אֲנָפָה appears in the context of the dietary laws given to the Israelites, specifically listing birds that are considered unclean and therefore not to be consumed. Context: The Hebrew word אֲנָפָה (anaphah) is mentioned in the context of the Mosaic Law, specifically in Leviticus 11:19 and Deuteronomy 14:18, where it is listed among the birds that are deemed unclean. The exact identification of the bird referred to by אֲנָפָה is uncertain, with some translations suggesting it is a type of heron, while others propose it could be a parrot. The Berean Standard Bible translates it as "heron." The classification of this bird as unclean is part of a broader set of dietary restrictions intended to set the Israelites apart from other nations and to promote ritual purity. The specific reasons for the classification of certain birds as unclean are not detailed in the text, but they may relate to the bird's diet, behavior, or symbolic associations.
