These animals are known for their scavenging habits and their ability to thrive in desolate environments, which makes them a fitting metaphor in biblical literature for desolation and abandonment.<br><br><b>Biblical References:</b><br><br>1. <b><a href="/isaiah/13-22.htm">Isaiah 13:22</a> :</b> "Hyenas will howl in their fortresses, and jackals in their luxurious palaces. Babylon’s time is at hand; her days will not be prolonged." In this passage, the presence of jackals in the ruins of Babylon serves as a vivid image of the city's complete destruction and desolation. The once-great city is reduced to a haunt for wild animals, emphasizing the totality of God's judgment.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/jeremiah/9-11.htm">Jeremiah 9:11</a> :</b> "I will make Jerusalem a heap of rubble, a haunt for jackals; and I will lay waste the cities of Judah, without inhabitant." Here, the prophet Jeremiah conveys God's impending judgment on Jerusalem and Judah. The imagery of jackals inhabiting the ruins underscores the severity of the desolation that will come as a result of the people's unfaithfulness.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/lamentations/5-18.htm">Lamentations 5:18</a> :</b> "because of Mount Zion, which lies desolate, patrolled by jackals." The book of Lamentations mourns the destruction of Jerusalem, and the mention of jackals patrolling Mount Zion highlights the profound sense of loss and abandonment felt by the people.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/psalms/44-19.htm">Psalm 44:19</a> :</b> "But You have crushed us in the lair of jackals; You have covered us with deepest darkness." In this psalm, the psalmist laments the suffering and humiliation of the people, using the imagery of jackals to describe their dire circumstances. The lair of jackals symbolizes a place of despair and hopelessness.<br><br><b>Symbolism and Interpretation:</b><br><br>In the biblical context, jackals are often associated with desolation, ruin, and divine judgment. Their presence in prophetic literature serves as a powerful symbol of the consequences of sin and rebellion against God. The imagery of jackals inhabiting once-thriving cities or sacred places underscores the severity of God's judgment and the stark reality of a world turned away from Him.<br><br>The jackal's role as a scavenger also contributes to its symbolic meaning. Just as jackals feed on the remains of what once was, their presence in biblical texts often signifies the aftermath of destruction and the remnants of a society that has fallen away from God's favor.<br><br><b>Cultural and Historical Context:</b><br><br>In the ancient Near East, jackals were common in the wilderness and ruins. Their howls were a familiar sound in desolate areas, contributing to their association with abandonment and desolation. The biblical authors, familiar with these animals and their habits, used them effectively to convey messages of warning and judgment.<br><br>The use of jackals in biblical literature reflects the broader cultural understanding of these animals as symbols of desolation. Their presence in the text serves as a reminder of the consequences of turning away from God and the inevitable ruin that follows such a path.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.

Tannim is variously referred to a root meaning "to howl," and to a root meaning "to stretch out" trop. "to run swiftly, i.e. with outstretched neck and limb extended" (Gesenius). Either derivation would suit "wolf" equally as well as "jackal." The expression in <a href="/jeremiah/10-22.htm">Jeremiah 10:22</a>, "to make the cities of Judah a desolation, a dwelling-place of jackals," seems, however, especially appropriate of jackals. The same is true of <a href="/isaiah/34-13.htm">Isaiah 34:13</a> <a href="/jeremiah/9-11.htm">Jeremiah 9:11</a>; <a href="/jeremiah/49-33.htm">Jeremiah 49:33</a>, and 51:37.<br><br>The jackal (from Persian shaghal), Canis aureus, is found about the Mediterranean except in Western Europe. It ranges southward to Abyssinia, and eastward, in Southern Asia, to farther India. It is smaller than a large dog, has a moderately bushy tail, and is reddish brown with dark shadings above. It is cowardly and nocturnal. Like the fox, it is destructive to poultry, grapes, and vegetables, but is less fastidious, and readily devours the remains of others' feasts. Jackals generally go about in small companies. Their peculiar howl may frequently be heard in the evening and at any time in the night. It begins with a high-pitched, long-drawn-out cry. This is repeated two or three times, each time in a higher key than before. Finally there are several short, loud, yelping barks. Often when one raises the cry others join in. Jackals are not infrequently confounded with foxes. They breed freely with dogs.<br><br>While tannim is the only word translated "jackal" in English Versions of the Bible, the words 'iyim, tsiyim, and 'ochim deserve attention. They, as well as tannim, evidently refer to wild creatures inhabiting desert places, but it is difficult to say for what animal each of the words stands. All four (together with benoth ya`anah and se`irim) are found in <a href="/isaiah/13-21.htm">Isaiah 13:21, 22</a>: "But wild beasts of the desert (tsiyim) shall lie there; and their houses shall be full of doleful creatures ('ochim); and ostriches (benoth ya`anah) shall dwell there, and wild goats (se`irim) shall dance there. And wolves ('iyim) shall cry in their castles, and jackals (tannim) in the pleasant palaces."<br><br>In the King James Version 'iyim (<a href="/isaiah/13-22.htm">Isaiah 13:22</a>; <a href="/isaiah/34-14.htm">Isaiah 34:14</a> <a href="/jeremiah/50-39.htm">Jeremiah 50:39</a>) is translated "wild beasts of the islands" (compare 'iyim, "islands"). the King James Version margin has merely the transliteration iim, the Revised Version (British and American) "wolves," the Revised Version margin "howling creatures." Gesenius suggests the jackal, which is certainly a howler. While the wolf has a blood-curdling howl, it is much more rarely heard than the jackal.<br><br>Tsiyim (<a href="/psalms/72-9.htm">Psalm 72:9</a>; <a href="/psalms/74-14.htm">Psalm 74:14</a> <a href="/isaiah/13-21.htm">Isaiah 13:21</a>; <a href="/isaiah/23-13.htm">Isaiah 23:13</a>; <a href="/isaiah/34-14.htm">Isaiah 34:14</a> <a href="/jeremiah/50-39.htm">Jeremiah 50:39</a>) has been considered akin to tsiyah, "drought" (compare 'erets tsiyah, "a dry land" (<a href="/psalms/63-1.htm">Psalm 63:1</a>)), and is translated in the Revised Version (British and American) as follows: <a href="/psalms/72-9.htm">Psalm 72:9</a>, "they that dwell in the wilderness"; 74:14, "the people inhabiting the wilderness"; <a href="/isaiah/23-13.htm">Isaiah 23:13</a>, "them that dwell in the wilderness," the Revised Version margin "the beasts of the wilderness"; <a href="/isaiah/13-21.htm">Isaiah 13:21</a>; <a href="/isaiah/34-14.htm">Isaiah 34:14</a> <a href="/jeremiah/50-39.htm">Jeremiah 50:39</a>, "wild beasts of the desert." There would be some difficulty in referring tsiyim in <a href="/psalms/72-9.htm">Psalm 72:9</a> to beasts rather than to men, but that is not the case in <a href="/psalms/74-14.htm">Psalm 74:14</a> and <a href="/isaiah/23-13.htm">Isaiah 23:13</a>. "Wild cats" have been suggested.<br><br>'Ochim, "doleful creatures," perhaps onomatopoetic, occurs only in <a href="/isaiah/13-21.htm">Isaiah 13:21</a>. The translation "owls" has been suggested, and is not unsuitable to the context.<br><br>It is not impossible that tannim and 'iyim may be different names of the jackals. 'Iyim, tsiyim, and tannim occur together also in <a href="/isaiah/34-13.htm">Isaiah 34:13, 14</a>, and 'iyim and tsiyim in <a href="/jeremiah/50-39.htm">Jeremiah 50:39</a>.
