     * 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.
