Ecclesiastes, Ornithomancy, MidrashResumen
The current study discusses the interpretation of the Midrash to Ecclesiastes 10:20: "for a bird of the heaven will carry your voice". The Midrash stresses that Ecclesiastes refers to receiving unknown information from birds. The foundation of the Midrash is that in ancient times people believed that hidden information is transferred from birds to humans through observation of their flight or listening to their cries.
