Haydock's commentary
Blood, gushing from the animals, which the eagle brings. (Menochius)
St. Chrysostom explains this of the vulture, (Matthew xxiv. 28.; Calmet) which is of the same species. (Menochius)
Some eagles will not touch carcasses, but others are greedy of them. (Pliny x. 3.) (Proverbs xxx. 17.)
There. Our Saviour quotes this passage, Luke xvii. 37. (Calmet)
