Phrase of Scripture   Correlating Passages TSK Help

Ten fat   Neh 5:17,18
harts   Dr. Shaw understands ayil as the name of the genus, including all the species of the deer kind, whether they are distinguished by round horns, as the stag, or by flat ones, as the fallow deer, or by the smallness of the branches, as the roe.
roe-bucks   See note on Deu 15:22.
fallow-deer   "Yachmur, rendered bubalus by the Vulgate, probably the buffalo; and though ""the flesh of a buffalo does not seem so well tasted as beef, being harder and more coarse,"" yet in our times, ""persons of distinction, as well as the common people, and even the European merchants, eat a good deal of it, in the countries where that animal abounds."" Niebuhr, Descrip. de l'Arab p. 146."
