In the Bible, the leopard is often used symbolically to represent swiftness, cunning, and ferocity. It is sometimes mentioned in prophetic and poetic contexts to convey the characteristics of nations or individuals.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Near East, leopards were known for their agility and strength. They were native to the region and would have been familiar to the people of Israel. The leopard's spotted coat made it a symbol of stealth and surprise, often used in literature and art to depict these traits. In biblical times, leopards were considered dangerous predators, and their characteristics were often used metaphorically to describe the nature of certain nations or leaders.<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 leopard<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>leopard (4), leopards (2).<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">נָמֵר</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun masculine</b></font><sup>Isaiah 11:6</sup> <font size="+1"><b>leopard</b></font>;
