In the Bible, foxes are often used metaphorically to describe sly or destructive behavior. They are depicted as animals that can cause ruin, particularly in vineyards, symbolizing subtle and insidious threats.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, foxes were common in the countryside and were known for their nocturnal habits and ability to adapt to various environments. They were often seen as nuisances, particularly to farmers, as they could damage crops and vineyards. The imagery of foxes in biblical texts often carries connotations of deceit and destruction, reflecting the animal's reputation in the cultural context of the time.<div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> II. <font class="hebrew2">שׁוּעָל</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, of a location</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>district in Israel</b></font>;
