Bible Animals
You know how the animals in the Bible aren't always what they seem? Like how when it says "unicorn" it really means "Bos Primigenius" (an extinct bison.) So I went through and found out what they mean.
(Job 39:9/Bible Dictionary)
(Job 30:29)
(Jeremiah 51:34)
(Psalms 74:13)
(Job 30:29)
(Jeremiah 51:34)

Those are really interesting concepts--A name can go such a long way!! It makes me wonder about the people in the Bible time period: how and why did they come up with those names for those animals?
ReplyDeleteIt might also be the translation. Like translating "Zorro" (spanish for fox) to "Dragon" (english for dragon :)...)
