| <p> Matthew 23:37; Luke 13:34. As "the eagle stirring up her nest, fluttering over her young, spreading abroad her wings, taking, bearing them on her wings," represents the Old [[Testament]] aspect of [[Jehovah]] in relation to [[Israel]] under the law ( Deuteronomy 32:11), so the "hen," Christ the lowly loving Son of God gathering God's children under His overshadowing wing, in the gospel ( Ruth 2:12; Psalms 17:8; Psalms 91:4).

| <p> (ὄρνις '','' a ''bird,'' especially the domestic fowl, Matthew 23:37; Luke 13:34). We have no evidence that the ancient Hebrews were accustomed to the breeding of poultry, but that the later [[Jews]] were acquainted with it (Chald. תִּרְנְגוּלְתָּא ) is evident from 2 [[Esdras]] 1:30; Matthew 23:37; Luke 13:34; Luke 22:60-61. Michaelis is of opinion that the incubation of the common hen is referred to in Jeremiah 17:11. The original country of the common poultry fowl is India, where it is called the jungle bird. (See [[Cock]]). </p> <p> The metaphor used in the passages of the [[Gospels]] where the term "hen" occurs has always been admired for its beauty. When the hen sees a bird of prey coming, she makes a noise to assemble her chickens, that she may cover them with her wings from the danger. The Roman army, as an eagle, was about to fall upon the Jews; our Lord-expresses a desire to guard them from threatened calamities, but they disregarded his invitations and warnings, and fell a prey to their adversaries. Thee word there employed is used in the same specific sense in classical Greek (Aristoph. ''Av.'' 102, ''Vesp.'' 811). That a bird so intimately connected with the household, and so common in Palestine, as we know from Rabbinical sources (Otho, ''Lex. Rabb.'' p. 256), should receive such slight notice, is certainly singular (see Reland, ''De yalli cantu Hier. au'' dito, Rotterd. 1709; Detharding, id. Rost. 1752); it is almost equally singular that it is nowhere represented in the paintings of ancient Egypt (Wilkinson, 1, 234). (See [[Fowl]]). </p> | | <p> ''''' hen ''''' ( חן , <i> ''''' ḥēn ''''' </i> , "favor"). In Zechariah 6:14 , English [[Versions]] of the Bible reads, "And the crowns shall be to [[Helem]] ... and to [[Hen]] the son of Zephaniah." But as this person is called Josiah in Zechariah 6:10 , the Revised Version, margin "and for the kindness of the son of Zephaniah" is probably right, but the text is uncertain. See [[Josiah]] . </p> |
