The Lion in Hebrew, as Writers observe, hath several Names, as Ari, and Ariel; they call the Male Lion Labi, and the Female Lebia: Behold, my People shall arise like Labi, and be lifted up like Ari. There the Chaldee Translation rendereth Labi, Leta; the Arabian, Jebu; the Persian, Scher; and Munster saith, that Labi is an old Lion. In Job 38. Labaim signifieth Lions; in Psal. 57. Lebaat signifieth Lionesses; in Nah. 2. Laisch is by the Hebrews translated Lion; and the same Word, Isa. 30. is by the Chaldees translated Lions Whelp. The word [Greek or Hebrew] is derived [Greek or Hebrew], which signifies to see.
