Dict: easton - Wolf



easton:



Wolf @ Heb. zeeb, frequently referred to in Scripture as an emblem of treachery and cruelty. Jacob's prophecy, "Benjamin shall ravin as a wolf" kjv@Genesis:49:27), represents the warlike character of that tribe (see Judges:19-21). Isaiah represents the peace of Messiah's kingdom by the words, "The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb" kjv@Isaiah:11:6). The habits of the wolf are described in kjv@Jeremiah:5:6; kjv@Habakkuk:1:8; kjv@Zephaniah:3:3; kjv@Ezekiel:22:27; kjv@Matthew:7:15 kjv@Matthew:10:16; kjv@Acts:20:29. Wolves are still sometimes found in Palestine, and are the dread of shepherds, as of old.
