* the quails.
   The Hebrew {selav,} Chaldee {selaiv,} Syriac and Arabic
   {selwa,} is without doubt the quail:  so the  LXX. render it
   [ortygom(8274)re,] a large kind of quail.  Josephus, [ortyx,]
   Ethopic, {ferferat,} and Vulgate, {coturnices,} quails, with
   which agree Philo and the Rabbins.  The quail is a bird of the
   gallinaceous kind, somewhat less than a pigeon, but larger
   than a sparrow.  Hasselquist describes the quail of the larger
   kind as very much resembling the red partridge, but not larger
   than the turtle dove; found in Judea as well as in the deserts
   of Arabia Petra(9120)and Egypt; and affording a most agreeable and
   delicate dish.
