Word Origin:Derived from an unused root meaning to yelp or to attack

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: -G2965 (κύων, kuōn): This Greek word is used in the New Testament with a similar connotation, often referring to dogs in a derogatory sense, as seen in Philippians 3:2 and Revelation 22:15.

Usage:The Hebrew word "keleb" primarily refers to a dog. In the Biblical context, dogs were often seen as unclean animals, scavengers that roamed the streets and fields. The term is sometimes used metaphorically to describe people of low status or those considered impure or contemptible. In some instances, "keleb" is used to denote male prostitutes in pagan worship practices, as seen in Deuteronomy 23:18.

Cultural and Historical Background:In ancient Israel, dogs were not typically kept as pets as they are in many cultures today. They were more commonly associated with wild or semi-wild animals that lived on the fringes of human settlements. Dogs were often seen as symbols of impurity and were associated with negative traits such as greed and aggression. This cultural perception is reflected in various Biblical passages where dogs are used as metaphors for undesirable characteristics or people.
