lion in Deuteronomy 33
LYE-un
This creature shows up in Deuteronomy 33:20: “About Gad he said, “He who enlarges Gad is blessed. He dwells as a lioness, and tears the arm, yes, the crown of the head.” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real creature in a real place.
Deuteronomy 33:20
“About Gad he said, “He who enlarges Gad is blessed. He dwells as a lioness, and tears the arm, yes, the crown of the head.”
