Tafsiran yang Mengutip untuk Mazmur 147:9

Ravens appear on the list of twenty-four non-kosher species of birds. Moreover, Tehillim 147:9 states “Notein LiVeheima Lachmah, LiVnei Oreiv Asher Yikera’u,” “He gives to an animal its food, to young ravens that cry out.” Ravens are characterized as cruel creatures that do not even sustain their own young, leaving them crying for food. Why, then, out of all the means to sustain Eliyahu HaNavi, does Hashem choose to send ravens to feed him?

Until the water … dried up. See Rashi in the name of the Midrash. Since the raven is a callous creature it would not have been sent to bring glad tidings to the world. Rather, its real mission was to sustain Eliyahu in the desert so that he could bring famine to the world.

pick it out Heb. יקרוה, an expression of (Num. 16: 14): “will you pick (תנקר)” (Ex. 33:22) “In the cleft (בנקרת) of the rock.” Forer in French, to bore through. Let the raven, which is cruel to its young, come and pick it and not eat it and not derive benefit from it, and let the eagle, which is compassionate with its young, come and eat it and derive benefit from it. The raven is cruel, as it is stated (Ps. 147:9): “to the young ravens which cry,” and the eagle is compassionate, as it is stated (Deut. 32: 11): “It bears its young on its wing.”
