This obscure verb appears only in Job 39:30, describing how eagles' young 'drink up' or 'swallow' blood. However, the text is quite uncertain, and most scholars suggest this represents a textual corruption of a form of the verb 'la'a' (to swallow/gulp). The context describes the eagle's fierce nature—where the slain are, there the eagle is found, and its young ones eagerly consume blood. Whether the original verb was 'ala'a' or 'la'a,' the meaning converges on the image of greedy, eager consumption of prey. BDB notes this as an assumed root reconstructed from this single difficult passage.
