Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour."<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The Hebrew word "aryeh" refers to a lion, a symbol of strength, courage, and majesty. In the Bible, lions are often used metaphorically to describe powerful and fearsome entities, both in a positive and negative sense. They are depicted as both noble creatures and as threats to be wary of.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern cultures, lions were considered the kings of the animal kingdom, representing power and royalty. They were often associated with deities and kings, symbolizing authority and dominance. Lions were native to the region and would have been familiar to the people of Israel, both as wild animals and as symbols in art and literature.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive
