GREYHOUND.—See Dog.
Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible
Edited by James Hastings, D.D. Published in 1909


Pro_30:31, margin, "girt in the loins," referring to the slenderness of its body at the loins, as if tightly girt for grace and swiftness in running, so that it is classed among the "things which go well." The ancient Egyptian paintings represent such close-girt hounds used in coursing. Gesenius understands Pro_30:31 "a war horse with ornamental trappings girt on its loins." Maurer, "a wrestler with loins girt for the struggle."

Greyhound
is the rendering given by our translators of זרְזִיר(or rather זרְזִיר מָתְניִם, zarzir' mothna yim, girded as to the loins, as the marg. renders; Sept. ἀλέκτωρ ἐμεριπατῶν θηλείαις εὔψυχος, a cock strutting about proudly among his hens; Vulg. gallus suc-cinctus lumbos), given in Pro_30:31. as an instance of gracefulness in gait. Gesenius (Heb. Thes. p. 435) inclines to the opinion of Bochart (Hieroz. i, 103), Schultens (Comment. ad loc.), and others, that it denotes a war-horse, as ornamented with girths and buckles about the loins. This is a more noble comparison than the cock (with the Sept., Vulg., Aquilla, Theodo-tion, the Targums, the Syr. and Arab. versions, Joseph Kimchi, and others), the greyhound (with the Veneto-Greek, the other Kimchis, Gershon, Luther, and others), or other more fanciful conjectures, e.g. the eagle, the zebra, etc., which may be seen in Fuller (Miscell. Sacr. v, 12), Simonis (Exercitatio critica de זרְזִיר, Hal. 1735), and others. Maurer, however (Comment. ad loc.), thinks a wrestler is intended as girded for a contest, and he refers to Buxtorf (Lex. Talm. col. 692) as confirming the signification of athlete thus assigned to zarzir. The hound was evidently known in ancient times, as appears from the Egyptian monuments. SEE DOG.
