Dict: easton - Roe

Roe @ (Heb. tsebi), properly the gazelle (Arab. ghazal), permitted for food kjv@Deuteronomy:14:5; comp. kjv@Deuteronomy:12:15 kjv@Deuteronomy:12:22 kjv@Deuteronomy:15:22; kjvKings:4:23), noted for its swiftness and beauty and grace of form ( kjv@2Samuel:2:18; kjv@1Chronicles:12:8; Cant. kjv@2:9; 7:3; 8:14). The gazelle (Gazella dorcas) is found in great numbers in Palestine. "Among the gray hills of Galilee it is still 'the roe upon the mountains of Bether,' and I have seen a little troop of gazelles feeding on the Mount of Olives close to Jerusalem itself" (Tristram). The Hebrew word ('ayyalah) in kjv@Proverbs:5:19 thus rendered (R.V., "doe"), is properly the "wild she-goat," the mountain goat, the ibex. (
