Commentary for Job 28:7

נָ֭תִיב לֹֽא־יְדָ֣עוֹ עָ֑יִט וְלֹ֥א שְׁ֝זָפַ֗תּוּ עֵ֣ין אַיָּֽה׃

That path no bird of prey knoweth, Neither hath the falcon’s eye seen it;

Rashi on Job

A path unknown to brigands Heb. עיט. A band of robbers never passed by them.

Rashi on Job

and which the eye of a vulture did not see Since it sees more than other birds, and is therefore called רָאָה, because it stands in Babylon and sees a carcass in Eretz Israel. That is how it is explained in the Aggadah of Hullin (632); i.e., spies never discerned it.
