In the Bible, bears are often used metaphorically to describe strength, danger, or divine judgment. The bear is depicted as a formidable creature, often used in similes and metaphors to convey the intensity of certain situations or the power of God.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Near East, bears were known to inhabit the regions of Israel and its surrounding areas. They were considered dangerous predators, especially to livestock and sometimes to humans. The bear's presence in biblical texts reflects its role in the natural world as a symbol of power and potential threat. In biblical times, encounters with bears would have been rare but significant, often leaving a lasting impression on those who witnessed them.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>(Aramaic) corresponding to <a href="/hebrew/1677.htm">dob</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a bear<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>bear (1).<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">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>bear <p>(Aramaic) corresponding to <a href="/hebrew/1677.htm">dob</a> -- bear. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/1677.htm">dob</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>לְדֹ֗ב לדב lə·ḏōḇ leDo ləḏōḇ<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/daniel/7-5.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Daniel 7:5</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/daniel/7.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">תִנְיָנָ֜ה דָּמְיָ֣ה <b> לְדֹ֗ב </b> וְלִשְׂטַר־ חַד֙</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/daniel/7.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> one, resembling <span class="itali">a bear.</span> And it was raised<br><a href="/kjvs/daniel/7.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> like <span class="itali">to a bear,</span> and it raised up<br><a href="/interlinear/daniel/7-5.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> A second resembling <span class="itali">A bear</span> side one<p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_1678.htm">1 Occurrence</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_1678.htm">Strong's Hebrew 1678<br>1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/ledo_1678.htm">lə·ḏōḇ — 1 Occ.</a><br></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="mdd"><div align="center"><div class="bot2"><table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td><div align="center"> <script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script> <script id="b817b7107f1d4a7997da1b3c33457e03"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=cb0edd8b-b416-47eb-8c6d-3cc96561f7e8&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-2'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-0' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-3'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-1' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div align="center" id='div-gpt-ad-1531425649696-0'> </div><br /><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:200px;height:200px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3753401421161123" data-ad-slot="3592799687"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script><br /><br /> </div> <div id="left"><a href="/hebrew/1677.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="1677"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="1677" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/1679.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="1679"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="1679" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhchap.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
