[

Coney (
Heb .
shaphan ;
i .
e ., "
the hider "),
an animal which inhabits the mountain gorges and the rocky districts of Arabia Petraea and the Holy Land . "
The conies are but a feeble folk ,
yet make they their houses in the rocks " (
Prov .
30 :
26 ;
Ps .
104 :
18 ).
They are gregarious ,
and "
exceeding wise " (
Prov .
30 :
24 ),
and are described as chewing the cud (
Lev .
11 :
5 ;
Deut .
14 :
7 ).
The animal intended by this name is known among naturalists as the Hyrax Syriacus .
It is neither a ruminant nor a rodent ,
but is regarded as akin to the rhinoceros .
When it is said to "
chew the cud ,"
the Hebrew word so used does not necessarily imply the possession of a ruminant stomach . "
The lawgiver speaks according to appearances ;
and no one can watch the constant motion of the little creature '
s jaws ,
as it sits continually working its teeth ,
without recognizing the naturalness of the expression "
(
Tristram ,
Natural History of the Bible ).
It is about the size and color of a rabbit ,
though clumsier in structure ,
and without a tail .
Its feet are not formed for digging ,
and therefore it has its home not in burrows but in the clefts of the rocks .
"
Coney "
is an obsolete English word for "
rabbit ."
