Berean Strong's Lexicon Zeeb: Zeeb Original Word: זְאֵב Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root זאב (ze'ev), meaning "wolf." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the proper noun Zeeb, as it is specific to the Hebrew narrative. However, the concept of a "wolf" is represented by the Greek word λύκος (lykos) in the New Testament. Usage: Zeeb is a proper noun used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to one of the Midianite princes defeated by Gideon. The name itself means "wolf," which may symbolize ferocity or predatory nature, reflecting the character or role of the individual in the narrative. Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of the Book of Judges, Zeeb was a prince of Midian, a nomadic tribe that frequently clashed with the Israelites. The Midianites were known for their raids and oppression of Israel during the time of the Judges. The defeat of Zeeb and his fellow prince Oreb by Gideon marked a significant victory for the Israelites, symbolizing God's deliverance and the restoration of peace and order.
