Wolf in Easton's Bible Dictionary
Heb. zeeb, frequently referred to in Scripture as an emblem
of
treachery and cruelty. Jacob's prophecy, "Benjamin
shall ravin
as a wolf" (Gen. 49:27), represents the warlike
character of
that tribe (see Judg. 19-21). Isaiah represents the
peace of
Messiah's kingdom by the words, "The wolf also shall
dwell with
the lamb" (Isa. 11:6). The habits of the wolf are
described in
Jer. 5:6; Hab. 1:8; Zeph. 3:3; Ezek. 22:27; Matt.
7:15; 10:16;
Acts 20:29. Wolves are still sometimes found in
Israel, and
are the dread of shepherds, as of old.
