רְנָנִ֥ים
𐤓𐤍𐤍𐤉𐤌
renen
exulting-ones
A type of large flightless bird, most likely the ostrich, occurring in poetic or figurative contexts in the Hebrew Bible. In rare instances, the word may also describe wailing or resonant sound, likely in connection with the bird's vocalizations. The term's lexical meaning centers on the animal itself, with possible reference to its cry or call, but the primary biblical usage identifies a distinctive wild bird of the Near Eastern deserts.
