Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance for "qippod," as the specific imagery of the hedgehog or porcupine does not appear in the Greek New Testament. However, the concept of desolation and wilderness is present in various Greek terms related to judgment and abandonment.

Usage: The term "qippod" is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to a creature that is often translated as "hedgehog" or "porcupine." The word is used to describe animals that are known for their spiny protection and ability to curl up, which aligns with the root meaning of contracting or rolling up.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near East, the hedgehog or porcupine was a common animal, known for its distinctive spines and nocturnal habits. These animals were often found in desolate or deserted areas, which is reflected in the biblical usage of the term. The imagery of a hedgehog or porcupine would have been familiar to the original audience of the Hebrew Bible, symbolizing desolation and abandonment.
