Reference: Gazelle
Hastings
The gazelle (Arabic ghazal, also zabi) is one of the commonest of the larger animals of Palestine; it is one of the most beautiful and graceful of antelopes. It is fawn and white in colour; it is much hunted (Pr 6:5; Isa 13:14); it is noted for its speed (2Sa 2:13; 1Ch 12:8); its flesh is considered, at least in towns, a delicacy.
Ghazaleh ('female gazelle') is a favourite name for a girl among the Yemin Jews, as Dorcas and Tabitha, with the same meaning, were in NT times (Ac 9:36,40).
