Note: While the Greek entries listed are for "lion," they are related in the sense of representing powerful and predatory animals in biblical symbolism. The specific Greek term for "leopard" is not directly listed in Strong's Concordance, but the concept of predatory animals is often interlinked in biblical imagery.

Usage: This Aramaic term is used to denote a leopard, a large feline known for its distinctive spotted coat. In the context of the Bible, it is often used symbolically to represent swiftness, stealth, and ferocity.

Context: The term נְמַר (nĕmar) appears in the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament, specifically in the book of Daniel. In Daniel 7:6, the leopard is part of a prophetic vision, symbolizing a kingdom characterized by speed and power. The vision describes a beast resembling a leopard with four wings and four heads, indicating a swift and expansive dominion. This imagery aligns with the historical context of the Medo-Persian and Greek empires, known for their rapid conquests and extensive territories. The leopard's attributes in the vision emphasize the themes of agility and dominance, reflecting the nature of the empires it represents.
