Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to be reddish.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for יַחְמוּר (yachmur) in the Strong's Greek lexicon, as the specific term for this type of deer does not appear in the Greek New Testament. However, the general term for deer in Greek is ἔλαφος (elaphos), which is Strong's Greek Number 1389. Usage: The term יַחְמוּר (yachmur) is used in the context of describing clean animals that are permissible to eat according to the dietary laws in the Old Testament. Context: The Hebrew word יַחְמוּר (yachmur) appears in the context of the dietary laws given to the Israelites, specifically in Deuteronomy 14:5. It is listed among the clean animals that the Israelites were allowed to consume. The term is traditionally understood to refer to a type of deer, often identified as the fallow deer, known for its reddish-brown coat. This identification is supported by the root meaning of the word, which suggests a reddish hue. The fallow deer is a medium-sized deer native to the Mediterranean region, which aligns with the geographical context of the biblical narrative. The inclusion of the yachmur in the list of clean animals underscores the importance of dietary regulations in maintaining the distinctiveness and holiness of the Israelite community.
