Here's another sort of wild ones, the Hind. Canst thou mark? the word imports the most strict and heedful marking; ¹'Tis used by Jacob (Gen. 37.11.) when Joseph had told his dream, his Brethren envied him, but his Father observed the saying, that is, he marked what his Son had said. The word is often used to note our dutiful keeping or heeding the commands of God, which should be done with the greatest strictness, care and observation. Now saith the Lord to Job, canst thou mark (or observe) when the Hinds do calve? as if the Lord had said, dost thou keep their reckoning exactly? art thou able to tell the day and hour when they will calve? The word rendered Hind comes from a root signifying strength. Hinds are strong,² though timorous and fearful creatures; and for their fearfulness they have a help besides their strength, that is, their speed or swiftness; and though their strength doth not serve them sufficiently to stand and make head against their pursuers, yet it serves them (as we may say) to show their pursuers a fair pair of heels, or to run from them and escape their danger. Canst thou mark when the Hinds Do calve?
