And the stork, the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat.

Leviticus 11:19 — KJV

Theological / Devotional

The heron. This denotes a bird of greedy habits, probably the plover.

The lapwing. This may be another variety of plover, or perhaps the “hoopoe” (LXX and RSV), a bird with a slender, curved bill.

The bat. Here classed among the birds, though it is a quadruped, probably because of its flight habits.
