A large bird of prey, most commonly identified with the eagle, but in some contexts may refer to large vultures or raptors native to the ancient Near East. Used both literally for the animal and metaphorically to convey swiftness, strength, or loftiness. The term does not always correspond to a specific taxonomic species by modern standards.

SIBI-P1 Translation H5404-02
the tearing raptor
| Morphological Notes | Noun, common; masculine singular absolute with prefixed definite article (הַ). |
| Rendering Rationale | The definite article הַ is rendered as "the," and the masculine singular noun is preserved as a single specific creature. "Tearing raptor" reflects the root sense of נשר (to tear away) while accurately conveying a large bird of prey without limiting it to a specific modern species. |
