eagle

Definition

An eagle is a very large, powerful bird of prey that eats small animals such as fish, mice, snakes, and chickens.

The eagle is often used as a symbol for freedom and power.
The Bible compares the speed and strength of an army to how fast and suddenly an eagle swoops down to catch its prey, or how quickly it soars into the sky to a great height.
Isaiah states that those who trust in the Lord will soar as an eagle does. This is figurative language used to describe the freedom and strength that comes from trusting and obeying God.
In the book of Daniel, King Nebuchadnezzar's hair length was compared to the length of an eagle's feathers, which can be up to 56 centimeters long.
