The Hebrew word for fox, "שׁוּעָל" (shu'al), appears in various passages, reflecting the animal's characteristics and the cultural perceptions of the time. Symbol of Cunning and Destruction The fox is frequently associated with cunning and deceit. In the <a href="/songs/2-15.htm">Song of Solomon 2:15</a>, the foxes are described as small but destructive creatures: "Catch for us the foxes, the little foxes that ruin the vineyards, our vineyards that are in bloom." Here, the foxes symbolize minor yet potentially ruinous problems that can disrupt relationships or spiritual growth if not addressed. In the New Testament, Jesus uses the fox metaphorically to describe Herod Antipas. In <a href="/luke/13-32.htm">Luke 13:32</a>, Jesus responds to the Pharisees who warn Him about Herod's intentions: "Go tell that fox, ‘Look, I will keep driving out demons and healing people today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will reach My goal.’" This statement highlights Herod's cunning and deceitful nature, as well as Jesus' determination to fulfill His mission despite opposition. Symbol of Desolation Foxes are also depicted as inhabitants of desolate and ruined places. In <a href="/lamentations/5-18.htm">Lamentations 5:18</a>, the desolation of Zion is illustrated with the presence of foxes: "because of Mount Zion, which lies desolate, with foxes prowling in it." This imagery underscores the extent of devastation and abandonment, as foxes are typically found in deserted areas. Similarly, in <a href="/ezekiel/13-4.htm">Ezekiel 13:4</a>, false prophets are compared to foxes in ruins: "Your prophets, O Israel, are like foxes among the ruins." This comparison emphasizes the deceitful and destructive influence of false prophets, who, like foxes, exploit and contribute to the spiritual ruin of the people. Cultural and Natural Context In the ancient Near East, foxes were common and well-known for their nocturnal habits and ability to adapt to various environments. They were often seen as nuisances to agriculture, as they could damage crops and vineyards. This background informs the biblical use of fox imagery, as the animal's behavior and characteristics were familiar to the original audience. Conclusion The fox in biblical literature serves as a powerful symbol of cunning, deceit, and desolation. Through its various appearances, the fox illustrates the subtle yet destructive forces that can undermine spiritual and communal well-being. The biblical portrayal of the fox encourages vigilance and discernment in addressing both personal and communal challenges.<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div>Fox(Heb. shual). Probably the jackal is the animal signified in almost all the passages in the Old Testament where the Hebrew term occurs. Though both foxes and jackals abound in Palestine, the shualim (foxes) of (<a href="/judges/15-4.htm">Judges 15:4</a>) are evidently jackals and not foxes, for the former animal is gregarious, whereas the latter is solitary in its habits; and Samson could not, for that reason, have easily caught three hundred foxes, but it was easy to catch that number of jackals, which are concealed by hundreds in caves and ruins of Syria. It is not probable, however, that Samson sent out the whole three hundred at once. With respect to the jackals and foxes of Palestine, there is no doubt that the common jackal of the country is the Canis aureus , which may be heard every night in the villages. It is like a medium-sized dog, with a head like a wolf, and is of a bright-yellow color. These beasts devour the bodies of the dead, and even dig them up from their graves.<a name="amt" id="amt"></a><div class="vheading2">ATS Bible Dictionary</div>FoxTwo words in Hebrew are translated "fox" in the Bible; and it is not easy in every case to determine what animal is referred to. There were several varieties of fox in Palestine, all like the common fox in form and habits. The fox is cunning, voracious, and mischievous, <a href="/ezekiel/13-4.htm">Ezekiel 13:4</a> <a href="/luke/13-32.htm">Luke 13:32</a>. He is fond of grapes, and does much harm in vineyards, So 2:15. The fable of the fox and the sour grapes is well known. He is solitary in his habits, and burrows a home for himself in the ground, <a href="/luke/9-58.htm">Luke 9:58</a>. The jackal, at the present day, is much more numerous in Palestine, and is probably referred to in many texts where the word "foxes" occurs. It is like a medium-sized dog, with a head like the wolves, and a tail like the fox's; of a bright yellow color. To the fierceness of the wolf it joins the impudent familiarity of the dog. It differs from the fox in its habit of hunting its prey in large packs, and in its cry-a mournful howl, mixed with barking, which they keep up all night, to the annoyance of all within hearing. They live in holes; prowl around villages; ravage poultry yards; feed upon game, lizards, insects, grapes, garbage; and when they can find nothing else, old leather and any thing that has once had animal life. They follow after caravans and armies, and devour the bodies of the dead, and even dig them up from their graves, <a href="/psalms/63-10.htm">Psalm 63:10</a> La 5:18. The incident in the life of Samson, where foxes, or perhaps jackals, are referred to, Jud 15:4-5, has a parallel in the ancient Roman feast of Ceres, goddess of corn; when torches were bound to the tails of numbers of foxes, and they ran round the circus till the fire stopped and consumed them. This was in revenge for their once burning up some fields of corn. <a name="eas" id="eas"></a><div class="vheading2">Easton's Bible Dictionary</div>(Hebrews shu'al, a name derived from its digging or burrowing under ground), the Vulpes thaleb, or Syrian fox, the only species of this animal indigenous to Palestine. It burrows, is silent and solitary in its habits, is destructive to vineyards, being a plunderer of ripe grapes (Cant. 2:15). The Vulpes Niloticus, or Egyptian dog-fox, and the Vulpes vulgaris, or common fox, are also found in Palestine.The proverbial cunning of the fox is alluded to in <a href="/ezekiel/13-4.htm">Ezek. 13:4</a>, and in <a href="/luke/13-32.htm">Luke 13:32</a>, where our Lord calls Herod "that fox." In <a href="/judges/15-4.htm">Judges 15:4</a>, 5, the reference is in all probability to the jackal. The Hebrew word shu'al_ through the Persian _schagal becomes our jackal (Canis aureus), so that the word may bear that signification here. The reasons for preferring the rendering "jackal" are (1) that it is more easily caught than the fox; (2) that the fox is shy and suspicious, and flies mankind, while the jackal does not; and (3) that foxes are difficult, jackals comparatively easy, to treat in the way here described. Jackals hunt in large numbers, and are still very numerous in Southern Palestine. <a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1. (n.)

Tristram, for instance, distinguishes the Egyptian fox, Vulpes nilotica, of Southern Palestine, and the tawny fox, Vulpes flavescens, of the North and East It is possible that the range of the desert fox, Vulpes leucopus, of Southwestern Asia may also reach Syria. We have, however, the authority of the Royal Natural History for considering all these as merely local races of one species, the common fox, Vulpes alopex or Canis vulpes. The natives of Syria and Palestine do not always distinguish the fox and jackal although the two animals are markedly different. The jackal and wolf also are frequently confounded. See <a href="../d/dragon.htm">DRAGON</a>; <a href="../j/jackal.htm">JACKAL</a>. In <a href="/psalms/63-9.htm">Psalm 63:9</a> we have, "Those that seek my soul, to destroy it,. shall be given over to the power of the sword: they shall be a portion for foxes" (shu`alim). It has been thought that the jackal is meant here (Revised Version margin), and that may well be, though it is also true that the fox does not refuse carrion. In the Revised Version, margin, "jackal" is suggested in two other passages, though why is not clear, since the rendering "fox" seems quite appropriate in both. They are <a href="/nehemiah/4-3.htm">Nehemiah 4:3</a>, ". if a fox go up, he shall break down their stone wall," and <a href="/lamentations/5-17.htm">Lamentations 5:17</a>, ". our eyes are dim; for the mountain of Zion which is desolate: the foxes walk upon it." the Revised Version, margin also has "jackals" in <a href="/judges/15-4.htm">Judges 15:4</a>, where Samson "caught three hundred foxes. and put a firebrand in the midst between every two tails. and let them go into the standing grain of the Philistines, and burnt up both the shocks and the standing grain, and also the oliveyards." Jackals are probably more numerous than foxes, but the substitution does not appreciably diminish the difficulties in the way of any natural explanation of the story. In <a href="/songs/2-15.htm">Songs 2:15</a> we have a reference to the fondness of the fox for grapes. In <a href="/matthew/8-20.htm">Matthew 8:20</a> and <a href="/luke/9-58.htm">Luke 9:58</a> Jesus says in warning to a would-be follower, "The foxes have holes, and the birds of the heaven have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head." Foxes differ from most of the Canidae in burrowing holes for their lairs, unless indeed they take possession of the burrow of another animal, such as the badger.
