Leopard. Isaiah 11:6. An animal of the cat tribe, which is often mentioned by the sacred writers. The Hebrew name is nimrah. Numbers 32:8. Beth-nimrah, Numbers 32:36, means the house of the leopards; and in Song of Solomon 4:8, are mentioned the mountains of the leopards. Allusions are made in the Bible to its manner of watching for its prey, Jeremiah 5:6; Hosea 13:7; its fleetness, Habakkuk 1:8; its fierceness and cruelty, Isaiah 11:6, and in Daniel 7:6 it is made the emblem of power.
