What is a Greyhound?
GREY'HOUND
is the A.V. translation for the Hebrew words, meaning "one girt about the loins." Prov 30:31. That a "greyhound" does not answer to the meaning of the Hebrew is generally agreed. The most probable rendering yet suggested is that of a "wrestler" girded for the fight; others explain it of the war-horse, which is so poetically described in the book of Job 39:19-25.
