Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour." Usage: The Hebrew word "aryeh" refers to a lion, a symbol of strength, courage, and majesty.

They are depicted as both noble creatures and as threats to be wary of. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, lions were considered the kings of the animal kingdom, representing power and royalty. They were often associated with deities and kings, symbolizing authority and dominance. Lions were native to the region and would have been familiar to the people of Israel, both as wild animals and as symbols in art and literature.
