This bird is often associated with desolate places, symbolizing desolation and judgment in biblical literature. In Isaiah 34:11, the desert owl is depicted as inhabiting the ruins of Edom, a place of divine judgment.

New Covenant Understanding While the dietary laws are not binding under the New Covenant, they point to the deeper spiritual truth of purity and holiness that is fulfilled in Christ.
