Zoology, Biblical
This, like all other scientific subjects, is practically and incidentally, rather than systematically and designedly, treated in the Scriptures, yet many animals are mentioned, and their characteristics are given with substantial accuracy. In the Talmud a more copious and minute description is given of many animals (see Lewysohn, Die Zoologie des Talmuds [Frankfort-on- the-Main, 1858]). The popular and general classification into beasts, birds, reptiles, etc. is the usual Biblical one, and they are further distinguished as clean and unclean. See each of these designations under its proper head. The following is a full list of all the animals (including certain animal products) mentioned in the Bible, in the alphabetical order of the names in the original, with the ordinary rendering in the A.V., and the real name as nearly as modern research has identified it. See each term in its proper place in the body of this Cyclopaedia. SEE NATURAL HISTORY.
