LION - L>@ - "The most powerful, daring and impressive of all carnivorous animals, the most magnificent in aspect and awful in voice." At present lions do not exist in Palestine; but they must in ancient times have been numerous. The lion of Palestine was in all probability the Asiatic variety, described by Aristotle and Pliny as distinguished by its short and curly mane, and by being shorter and rounder in shape, like the sculptured lion found at Arban. It was less daring than the longer named species, but when driven by hunger it not only ventured to attack the flocks in the desert in presence of the shepherd, ( kjv@1Samuel:17:34; kjv@Isaiah:31:4) but laid waste towns and villages, ( kjv@2Kings:17:25-26; kjv@Proverbs:22:13 kjv@Proverbs:26:13) and devoured men. (Kings:13:24; 20:36) Among the Hebrews, and throughout the Old Testament, the lion was the achievement of the princely tribe of Judah, while in the closing book of the canon it received a deeper significance as the emblem of him who "prevailed to open the book and loose the seven seals thereof." kjv@Revelation:5:5) On the other hand its fierceness and cruelty rendered it an appropriate metaphor for a fierce and malignant enemy. kjv@Psalms:7:2 kjv@Psalms:22:21 kjv@Psalms:57:4 ; kjv@2Timothy:4:17) and hence for the arch-fiend himself. ( kjv@1Peter:5:8)

Lions @ the most powerful of all carnivorous animals. Although not now found in Palestine, they must have been in ancient times very numerous there. They had their lairs in the forests kjv@Jeremiah:5:6 kjv@Jeremiah:12:8; kjv@Amos:3:4), in the caves of the mountains (Cant. kjv@4:8; Nahum:2:12), and in the canebrakes on the banks of the Jordan kjv@Jeremiah:49:19 kjv@Jeremiah:50:44; kjv@Zechariah:11:3). No fewer than at least six different words are used in the Old Testament for the lion.

(1.) Gor (i.e., a "suckling"), the lion's whelp kjv@Genesis:49:9; kjv@Jeremiah:51:38, etc.).

(2.) Kephir (i.e., "shaggy"), the young lion kjv@Judges:14:5; kjv@Job:4:10; kjv@Psalms:91:13 kjv@Psalms:104:21), a term which is also used figuratively of cruel enemies kjv@Psalms:34:10 kjv@Psalms:35:17 kjv@Psalms:58:6 ; kjv@Jeremiah:2:15).

(3.) 'Ari (i.e., the "puller" in pieces), denoting the lion in general, without reference to age or sex kjv@Numbers:23:24; kjv@2Samuel:17:10, etc.).

(4.) Shahal (the "roarer"), the mature lion kjv@Job:4:10; kjv@Psalms:91:13; kjv@Proverbs:26:13; kjv@Hosea:5:14).

(5.) Laish, so called from its strength and bravery kjv@Job:4:11; kjv@Proverbs:30:30; kjv@Isaiah:30:6). The capital of Northern Dan received its name from this word.

(6.) Labi, from a root meaning "to roar," a grown lion or lioness kjv@Genesis:49:9; kjv@Numbers:23:24 kjv@Numbers:24:9; kjv@Ezekiel:19:2; kjv@Nahum:2:11). The lion of Palestine was properly of the Asiatic variety, distinguished from the African variety, which is larger. Yet it not only attacked flocks in the presence of the shepherd, but also laid waste towns and villages ( kjv@2Kings:17:25-26) and devoured men (kjvKings:13:24-25). Shepherds sometimes, single-handed, encountered lions and slew them ( kjv@1Samuel:17:34-35; kjv@Amos:3:12). Samson seized a young lion with his hands and "rent him as he would have rent a kid" kjv@Judges:14:5-6). The strength kjv@Judges:14:18), courage ( kjv@2Samuel:17:10), and ferocity kjv@Genesis:49:9) of the lion were proverbial.
