It is often used in the context of describing beauty, grace, and gentleness, drawing on the imagery of a young deer’s delicate and graceful nature. In the poetic and wisdom literature of the Bible, "opher" is used metaphorically to convey these attributes.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, deer were common in the landscape and were often associated with beauty and swiftness. The imagery of a deer was familiar to the people and was used in poetry and song to evoke a sense of natural beauty and elegance. The deer’s ability to navigate rugged terrain with agility made it a symbol of grace and strength.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from an unused word<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a young hart, stag<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>fawns (2), young (3).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">עֹ֫פֶר</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun masculine</b></font><sup>Song of Solomon 4:5</sup> <font size="+1"><b>young hart, stag</b></font>; — construct<font class="hebrew2">הָאַיָּלִים</font> <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">ע</font> "" <font class="hebrew2">(צְבִיׅ</font> <a href="/interlinear/songs/2-9.htm">Songs 2:9,17</a>; <a href="/interlinear/songs/8-14.htm">Songs 8:14</a>; plural absolute <font class="hebrew2">עֳפָרִים תְּאוֺמֵי</font> <font class="hebrew2">צְבִיָּה</font> <a href="/interlinear/songs/4-5.htm">Songs 4:5</a>; <a href="/interlinear/songs/7-4.htm">Songs 7:4</a> (all in simile). <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>young roe hart <p>From <a href="/hebrew/6080.htm">aphar</a>; a fawn (from the dusty color) -- young roe (hart). <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/6080.htm">aphar</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>לְעֹ֣פֶר לְעֹ֥פֶר לעפר עֳפָרִ֖ים עפרים ‘o·p̄ā·rîm ‘op̄ārîm lə‘ōp̄er lə·‘ō·p̄er leOfer ofaRim<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/songs/2-9.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Songs 2:9</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/songs/2.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">לִצְבִ֔י א֖וֹ <b> לְעֹ֣פֶר </b> הָֽאַיָּלִ֑ים הִנֵּה־</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/songs/2.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> a gazelle or <span class="itali">a young</span> stag.
