Strong's Lexicon tannah: Jackal Original Word: תנא Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to repeat or rehearse. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for "tannah" in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as the concept of jackals is more culturally and geographically specific to the Hebrew Bible. Usage: The Hebrew word "tannah" refers to a type of wild animal, commonly understood to be a jackal. In the biblical context, jackals are often associated with desolation and wilderness. They are scavengers, typically found in deserted or ruined places, symbolizing desolation and abandonment. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern culture, jackals were commonly found in arid and desolate regions. They were known for their howling, which added to the eerie atmosphere of deserted places.
