Bar Juchne or Bar-Yuchnei is a colossal legendary bird from Jewish mythology which was believed to have a wingspan large enough to block out the sun. The first mention of the creature comes from the ''Talmud'' (Bekhorot, fol. 57 col. 2)〔''A Talmudic Miscellany'', ''trans'' Paul Isaac Hershon, Routledge, 2001, ISBN 0415244587 (Google Books )〕 which tells of a Bar Juchne egg falling from its nest and destroying 300 cedars and flooding 60 villages/cities.〔''Encyclopædia metropolitana'', FA Cox, Griffin, 1852 (Google Books )〕 The ''Talmud'' says of the event: 'The question therefore arose, "Does the bird generally throw out its eggs?" Rav Ashi replied, "No; that was a rotten one."'〔 It is said that it would be roasted, along with Leviathan and Behemoth, and served at a banquet for the Children of Israel at the coming of the Messiah.〔''The Classical Journal'', Vol XVI, Sep/Dec 1817, London (Google Books )〕 ==See also== *Angha *Roc *Thunderbird *Zig *Ziz 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bar Juchne」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
