Comments: According to Harris Rackham, Pliny the Elder's description of a phoenix in Natural History "tallies fairly closely with the golden pheasant of the Far East"[13][14]
Phœnix or chol might possibly be read instead of palmtree (Hebr. hôl - Strongs: H2344) in Job 29:18, where the belief in its immortality seems referred to; however the sense adopted by D.V., after Vulgate and Septuagint, should not be slighted.[13]
Verses:
- Job 29:18
