Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G5000: ἀντιλόπη (antilopē) • This Greek term is used to refer to an antelope or gazelle, similar to the Hebrew צְבִיָּה (Tzebiyah). The Greek term captures the same essence of grace and beauty associated with these animals in the biblical context.

Context: • The Hebrew word צְבִיָּה (Tzebiyah) appears in the context of biblical literature as a symbol of beauty and elegance. The gazelle, or deer, is frequently mentioned in the Bible, often in poetic and metaphorical language. In the ancient Near Eastern context, the gazelle was admired for its agility and aesthetic appeal, making it a fitting symbol for beauty and grace.
• In the Berean Standard Bible, the term is used to convey the idea of something precious and desirable. The gazelle's characteristics are often employed in biblical poetry to describe the beloved or to illustrate the beauty of the land.
• The gazelle's imagery is also used in the Song of Solomon, where the beloved is compared to a gazelle, highlighting themes of love and admiration. This reflects the cultural appreciation for the animal's physical attributes and its symbolic representation of beauty.
