GLEDE glēd. The Heb. רָאָה׃֙, in Deuteronomy 14:13 is prob. a textual error for דָּאָ֔ה, a “bird of prey,” possibly the kite (Lev 11:14), from a root meaning “fly swiftly,” “dart through the air.” Probably some kind of hawk, an unclean bird whose use for food was forbidden. The Heb. letters ר and ד were easily confused in copying MSS.
