Boyd’s Bible Dictionary
:
(animal). A beautiful fleet animal, probably the
roe
-
deer
of Western
Asia
; but associated with antelope and gazelle (2 Sam. 2:18; 1 Chron. 12:8; {vi 17572;17655}Song of Sol. 2:17; 8:14).
Concise Bible Dictionary
:
The word
tsebi
is supposed to refer to some species of the gazelle. In the Levitical economy it was ranked with the clean animals ({vi 5256;5263}Deut. 12:15,22). The gazelle is graceful and elegant:
three
times
in the
Song of
Solomon
the
bride
compares the
bridegroom
to a roe; and the bridegroom compares the
breasts
of the bride to two young roes ({vi 17562;17564;17572}Song of Sol. 2:7,9,17; Song of Sol. 3:5; Song of Sol. 4:5; Song of Sol. 7:3; Song of Sol. 8:14). The
Gazella
dorcas
and
Gazella Arabica
are found in
Syria
. The Arabs hunt them by a falcon and a
greyhound
. Repeated attacks upon the
head
of the gazelle by the bird bewilder it, so that it becomes a prey to the hound, which is trained for the purpose. Others are caught in pits, to which they are driven by the hunters.
