ro, robuk: the King James Version has roe and roebuck for , cebh, , cebhyah. the Revised Version (British and American) usually substitutes gazelle in the text (Deu 12:15, etc.) or margin (Pro 6:5, etc.), but retains roe in 2Sa 2:18; 1Ch 12:8; Son 3:5; Son 7:3. So the Revised Version (British and American) has gazelle for the King James Version roe in Sirach 27:20 (dorkas). the Revised Version (British and American) has roe-buck for , yahmur (Deu 14:5; 1Ki 4:23), where the King James Version has fallow deer. In the opinion of the writer, , ‘ayyal English Versions of the Bible hart, should be translated roe-buck, yahmur fallow deer, and cebh gazelle. See DEER; GAZELLE.<\/p>\n
The word tsebi is supposed to refer to some species of the gazelle. In the Levitical economy it was ranked with the clean animals. Deu 12:15; Deu 12:22. The gazelle is graceful and elegant: three times in the Canticles the bride compares the bridegroom to a roe; and the bridegroom compares the breasts of the bride to two young roes. Son 2:7; Son 2:9; Son 2:17; Son 3:5; Son 4:5; Son 7:3; Son 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.<\/p>\n
