Job 39:29

“From thence she seeketh the prey, etc.] From the high rock; from whence she can look down into valleys, and even into the sea; and spy what is for her purpose, and descend and seize upon them; as lambs, fawns, geese, shellfish, etc. though they may lie in the most hidden and secret places. Wherefore in the original text it is, “she diggeth the prey or food” f1435 ; as treasure hid in secret is dug or diligently searched for; and for which she is qualified by the sharpness of her sight, as follows: [and] her eyes behold afar off; from the high rocks and higher clouds, even from the high sky, as Aelianus f1436 expresses it; and who observes that she is the most sharp sighted of all birds; and…”

“seeketh--is on the lookout for. behold--The eagle descries its prey at an astonishing distance, by sight, rather than smell.”

“From, thence she seeketh the prey, and her eyes behold afar off - “When far aloft, and no longer discernible by the human eye, such is the wonderful acuteness of its sight, that from the same elevation it will mark a hare, or even a smaller animal, and dart down on it with unerring aim.” “Edin. Ency.” “Of all animals, the eagle has the quickest eye; but his sense of smelling is far inferior to that of the vulture. He never pursues, therefore, but in sight.” “Goldsmith.” This power of sight was early known, and is celebrated by the ancients. Thus, Homer, r’ - . verse 674. - ὥστ ̓ ἀιετός ὄν ῥά τε φασὶν Ὀξύσατον δέρκεσθαι ὑπουρανίων πετεηνῶν. - hōst' aietos on ra te fasin…”

“Her eyes - Her sight is exceeding sharp and strong, so that she is able to look upon the sun with open eyes, and to behold the smallest prey upon the earth or sea, when she is mounted out of our sight. Job 39:33”

“she: Job 9:26 her: The eagle is proverbial for her strong and clear sight. Job 39:30”
