Comments: The little owl at Haifa district in Israel
Owl — A generic name under which many species of nocturnal birds are designated, some having a proper name in the Hebrew (יַנְשׁוּף yanšōp̄ - Strongs: H3244, אֹחַ ’ōḥ - Strongs: H255, כּוֺס kōs - Strongs: H3563), some others possessing none. Among the former we may mention the little owl (Athene noctua), the Egyptian eagle-owl (Bubo ascalaphus), the great owl of some authors, called ibis in the D.V., the screech or hooting owl, probably the lîlîth (לִיִלית - Strongs: H3917) of Isaiah 34:14, and the lamia of St. Jerome and the D.V.; the barn owl (Strix flammea), possibly corresponding to the תַּחְמָס (taḥmās - Strongs: H8464) of the Hebrew and rendered by night-hawk in the A.V.; and the qîppôz (קִפוֹז - Strongs: H7091) of Isaiah 34:15, as yet unidentified and sometimes translated "arrow snake" or "tree snake."
