The word tsebi is supposed to refer to some species of the gazelle. In the Levitical economy it was ranked with the clean animals. Deuteronomy 12:15,22 . The gazelle is graceful and elegant: three times in the Canticles the bride compares the bridegroom to a roe; and the bridegroom compares the breasts of the bride to two young roes. Song of Solomon 2:7,9,17; Song of Solomon 3:5; Song of Solomon 4:5; Song of Solomon 7:3; Song of Solomon 8:14 . The Gazella dorcas and Gazella Arabica are found in Syria. The Arabs hunt them by a falcon and a greyhound. Repeated attacks upon the head of the gazelle by the bird bewilder it, so that it becomes a prey to the hound, which is trained for the purpose. Others are caught in pits, to which they are driven by the hunters.
