Strong's Lexicon yachmur: Roebuck, Deer Original Word: יַחְמוּר Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to be reddish. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance for "yachmur," as it is a specific Hebrew term for a type of animal not commonly referenced in the Greek New Testament. Usage: The term "yachmur" refers to a type of deer or roebuck, a clean animal that was permissible for consumption according to the dietary laws outlined in the Old Testament. It is often associated with other game animals that were hunted and consumed by the Israelites. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, hunting and consuming wild game was a common practice, especially among the wealthier classes. The yachmur, likely a type of deer or antelope, was considered a delicacy and was included in the list of clean animals in Deuteronomy 14:5. The identification of the yachmur has been debated, with some scholars suggesting it may refer to the fallow deer or a similar species native to the region.
