Scripture Alphabet of Animals: The Ibex or the Wild Goat
By Harriet N. Cook (1814-1843)
The Ibex is a kind of goat, but different from the one described at page 33. It is sometimes called the Rock Goat, or Wild Goat; and the last is the name given it in the Bible. It resembles the common goat, but is larger, and its horns are much longer; they are sometimes considerably more than a …..

Scripture Alphabet of Animals: The Lion
By Harriet N. Cook (1814-1843)
You have seen pictures of the lion a hundred times, I suppose, and perhaps you have seen it alive; would you not like to know what the Bible says about it? You have heard it called the “king of beasts,” because it is so strong and so bold; it is afraid of no other animal, and it is strong enough to carry away a horse or a buffalo. In the 30th verse of the 30th chapter of Proverbs, we read about….

Scripture Alphabet of Animals: The Kite
Scripture Alphabet of Animals: The Kite
By Harriet N. Cook (1814-1843)
The kite is mentioned but once or twice in the Bible. In Leviticus, 11 : 13,14, it is named among the birds which the Israelites were not allowed to use for food.
And these are they which ye shall have in abomination among the fowls; they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination; the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the ospray, and the vulture, and the kite after its kind.
These are all birds of….

Scripture Alphabet of Animals: The Hart and Hind
By Harriet N. Cook (1814-1843)
Several animals of the deer kind are mentioned in the Bible under the names of Fallow-deer, Hart, Hind, and Roe-buck. They were all numbered among the clean animals, or those which the Israelites were allowed to eat; as we see in Deut. 14:4, 5,
These are the beasts which ye shall eat; the ox, the sheep, the goat, the hart, the roe-buck and the fallow-deer.
In 1st Kings, 4:23, we read of the daily provision which was made for king Solomon’s table, and among the rest were ….

Scripture Alphabet of Animals: The Goat
Scripture Alphabet of Animals: The Goat
By Harriet N. Cook (1814-1843)
There are two kinds of goat in the countries where the Bible was written; one very much like those that we sometimes see; the other differing from it in several respects, especially in the greater length of its ears. It is supposed that the prophet Amos speaks of the latter kind when he says,
As the shepherd taketh out of the mouth of the lion, two legs or a piece of an ….

There are many dogs in the countries where the Bible was written, but the people do not like them as well as we do, and do not let them live about their yards and houses. So the dogs go wandering about without any master, and live on whatever they can find in the ….

By Harriet N. Cook (1814-1843)
There are two or three varieties of the camel, but they do not differ from each other much more than our horses, some of which, the stout and strong, we use to draw heavy loads; others, more slender and graceful, we use for riding. The swift camel is called a …
