Reference: Hyena
Fausets
Jer 12:9, "speckled bird." But Septuagint "the hyena," in parallelism to the "lion" in Jer 12:8; tsabuwa the Arabic word for hyena corresponds. Zeboim (1Sa 13:18) means "the valley of hyenas." But the Hebrew 'ayit joined to it always means a bird; and "speckled" symbolizes the blending of paganism with the utterly diverse, divinely-ordained law.
