The Bible often uses dogs to symbolize uncleanliness, contempt, or danger, reflecting the cultural attitudes of the ancient Near East.<br><br><b>Old Testament References</b><br><br>In the Old Testament, dogs are frequently associated with negative imagery. For instance, in <a href="/1_kings/14-11.htm">1 Kings 14:11</a> , it is prophesied that "Anyone belonging to Jeroboam who dies in the city, the dogs will eat." This reflects the view of dogs as scavengers, consuming the remains of the dead, which was considered a disgraceful fate. Similarly, in <a href="/1_kings/21-23.htm">1 Kings 21:23-24</a> , the prophet Elijah foretells that dogs will devour Jezebel by the wall of Jezreel, further emphasizing the ignoble role of dogs in biblical narratives.<br><br>The book of Psalms also uses dogs metaphorically to describe enemies or evildoers. <a href="/psalms/22-16.htm">Psalm 22:16</a> states, "For dogs surround me; a band of evil men encircles me; they have pierced my hands and feet." Here, dogs symbolize the threatening presence of adversaries.<br><br><b>New Testament References</b><br><br>In the New Testament, dogs continue to carry a negative connotation. In <a href="/matthew/7-6.htm">Matthew 7:6</a> , Jesus warns, "Do not give dogs what is holy; do not throw your pearls before swine, lest they trample them underfoot, and turn and tear you to pieces." This passage uses dogs to represent those who are unworthy or incapable of appreciating sacred truths.<br><br>The apostle Paul also uses the term "dogs" in a derogatory sense in <a href="/philippians/3-2.htm">Philippians 3:2</a> , where he cautions, "Watch out for those dogs, those workers of evil, those mutilators of the flesh!" Here, "dogs" refers to false teachers or those who pervert the gospel.<br><br><b>Cultural Context</b><br><br>In the ancient Near East, dogs were primarily seen as wild scavengers rather than domesticated companions. They roamed the streets and fields, often feeding on refuse and carrion. This behavior contributed to their negative portrayal in biblical texts. However, it is worth noting that some cultures within the region did use dogs for herding or guarding livestock, though this is not prominently reflected in the biblical narrative.<br><br><b>Symbolism and Interpretation</b><br><br>The consistent use of dogs in a negative light throughout the Bible serves as a symbolic representation of impurity, danger, and moral corruption. This symbolism is rooted in the cultural and historical context of the biblical authors, who viewed dogs as unclean animals. The biblical portrayal of dogs underscores the broader theme of distinguishing between the holy and the profane, the clean and the unclean, which is a recurring motif in Scripture.<br><br>While the Bible does not provide a comprehensive view of dogs as we understand them today, its references to dogs offer insight into the cultural and spiritual values of the time. The use of dogs as symbols of impurity and danger reflects the broader biblical narrative's emphasis on holiness, righteousness, and the rejection of evil.<a name="amt" id="amt"></a><div class="vheading2">ATS Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Dogs</span><p>Were held in great contempt by the Jews, but were worshipped, as well as cats, by the Egyptians. Among the Jews, to compare a person to a dog was the most degrading expression possible, <a href="/1_samuel/17-43.htm">1 Samuel 17:43</a> 24:14 <a href="/2_samuel/9-8.htm">2 Samuel 9:8</a>. The state of dogs among the Jews was the same that now prevails in the East, where, having no owners, they run about the streets in troops, and are fed by charity or caprice, or live on such offal as they can pick up. As they are often on the point of starvation, they devour corpses, and in the night even attack living men, <a href="/context/psalms/59-6.htm">Psalm 59:6</a>,14,15 <a href="/1_kings/14-11.htm">1 Kings 14:11</a>.
