In the Hebrew Bible, it is used metaphorically to describe attributes such as agility and elegance. The imagery of a doe is frequently employed in poetic and wisdom literature to convey a sense of natural beauty and gentle strength.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern culture, deer were common in the landscape and were admired for their speed and grace. They were often associated with natural beauty and were a part of the fauna that people would have been familiar with in their daily lives. The doe, in particular, was seen as a symbol of femininity and tenderness, often used in literature and art to evoke these qualities.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>fem. of <a href="/hebrew/354.htm">ayyal</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a hind, doe<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>deer (2), doe (2), hind (1), hinds (2), hinds' (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">אַיָּלָה</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>hind, doe</b></font> — <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">א</font> absolute <a href="/interlinear/genesis/49-21.htm">Genesis 49:21</a> (but read <font class="hebrew2">אֵילָה</font> see below); <font class="hebrew2">אַיֶּ֫לֶת</font> <a href="/interlinear/jeremiah/14-5.htm">Jeremiah 14:5</a>; construct <font class="hebrew2">אַיֶּ֫לֶת</font> <a href="/interlinear/psalms/22-1.htm">Psalm 22:1</a>; <a href="/interlinear/proverbs/5-19.htm">Proverbs 5:19</a>; plural <font class="hebrew2">אַיָּלוֺת</font> <a href="/interlinear/psalms/29-9.htm">Psalm 29:9</a> 4t; construct <font class="hebrew2">אַיְלוֺת</font> <a href="/interlinear/songs/2-7.htm">Songs 2:7</a>; <a href="/interlinear/songs/3-5.htm">Songs 3:5</a> — <em>hind, doe</em>, as calving <a href="/interlinear/job/39-1.htm">Job 39:1</a> (<font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">חֹלֵל א</font> "" <font class="hebrew2">לֶדֶת יַעֲלֵי</font> <font class="hebrew2">סָ֑לַע</font>) compare <a href="/interlinear/psalms/29-9.htm">Psalm 29:9</a> <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">יְחוֺלֵל א</font> <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">קוֺל י</font>; in adjuration <font class="hebrew2">הַשָּׂדֶה</font> <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">בָּצְבָאוֺת אוֺ בְּא</font> <a href="/interlinear/songs/2-7.htm">Songs 2:7</a>; <a href="/interlinear/songs/3-5.htm">Songs 3:5</a>; in simile<font class="hebrew2">מְשַׁוֶּה רַגְלַי</font> <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">כָּא</font> <a href="/interlinear/psalms/18-34.htm">Psalm 18:34</a> = <a href="/interlinear/2_samuel/22-34.htm">2 Samuel 22:34</a> compare <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">כָּא</font> <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">וַיָּשֶׂם ר</font> <a href="/interlinear/habakkuk/3-19.htm">Habakkuk 3:19</a> i.e. surefooted, secure, compare "" <font class="hebrew2">וְעַל בָּמֹתַי יַעֲמִידֵנִי</font> <a href="/interlinear/psalms/18-34.htm">Psalm 18:34</a> (2 Samuel 22:34; so <a href="/interlinear/habakkuk/3-19.htm">Habakkuk 3:19</a> but verb <font class="hebrew2">יַדְרִכֵנִי</font> metaphor of Naphtali <a href="/interlinear/genesis/49-21.htm">Genesis 49:21</a> <font class="hebrew2">שְׁלֻחָה</font> <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">א</font>, but read <font class="hebrew2">אֵילָה</font>, compare sub.
