Strong's Lexicon nemar: Leopard Original Word: נְמַר Word Origin: From an unused root meaning to spot or stain Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "nemar," the concept of a leopard appears in the New Testament in the book of Revelation, where the Greek word "pardalis" (Strong's G3917) is used. Usage: The Hebrew word "nemar" refers to a leopard, a large feline known for its distinctive spotted coat. In the Bible, the leopard is often used symbolically to represent swiftness, cunning, and sometimes danger or ferocity. The imagery of a leopard is employed in prophetic and poetic literature to convey these attributes. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near East, leopards were known for their agility and strength. They were native to the region and would have been familiar to the people of Israel.
