Strong's Lexicon namer: Leopard Original Word: נָמֵר Word Origin: From an unused root meaning to filtrate or be spotted Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in Strong's Concordance for "namer," the Greek word "pardalis" (Strong's G3917) is used in the Septuagint and New Testament to refer to a leopard. Usage: The Hebrew word "namer" refers to a leopard, a large feline known for its distinctive spotted coat. In the Bible, the leopard is often used symbolically to represent swiftness, cunning, and ferocity. It is sometimes mentioned in prophetic and poetic contexts to convey the characteristics of nations or individuals. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near East, leopards were known for their agility and strength. They were native to the region and would have been familiar to the people of Israel. The leopard's spotted coat made it a symbol of stealth and surprise, often used in literature and art to depict these traits. In biblical times, leopards were considered dangerous predators, and their characteristics were often used metaphorically to describe the nature of certain nations or leaders.
