hoopoe] dukiphath, A. V. lapwing. Tristram (89): hoopoe, upupa epops.
bat] ‘aṭalleph (cp. ἀττέλαβος, a kind of locust in N. Africa, Herod, iv. 172). In Palestine it haunts caverns and (as in Egypt) sepulchres. There is no doubt that the cheeping and muttering attributed to the dead (Isaiah 7) was derived from the sound made by the crowds of this animal when disturbed in sepulchres.
