Deer (אַיָּל, ayyal; אַיָּלָה, ayyalah). An animal that is ceremonially clean and thus fit for eating (e.g., Deut 14:5). Deer often appear in Wisdom literature and Hebrew poetry (e.g., Psa 42:1), particularly as a symbol of beauty or virility (Prov 5:19; Song 2:9; 8:14). They were common in the ancient Near East in Old Testament times, but they are now rare in that region.
