Glede Definition from Religion & Spirituality Dictionaries & Glossaries

Easton's Bible Dictionary
Glede
an Old English name for the common kite, mentioned only in Deut. 14:13 (Heb. ra'ah), the Milvus ater or black kite. The Hebrew word does not occur in the parallel passage in Leviticus (11:14, da'ah, rendered "vulture;" in R.V., "kite"). It was an unclean bird. The Hebrew name is from a root meaning "to see," "to look," thus designating a bird with a keen sight. The bird intended is probably the buzzard, of which there are three species found in Palestine. (See VULTURE.)

Smith's Bible Dictionary
Glede

the old name for the common kite (Milvus ater), occurs only in (14:13) among the unclean birds of prey.
