Fallow-Deer

　　 FALLOW-DEER . This word occurs in the AV [Note: Authorized Version.] among the clean animals ( Deuteronomy 14:5 ), and in the list of game furnished for Solomon’s daily table ( 1 Kings 4:23 ). In each list ’ayyâl, zÄ•bî , and yachmûr occur in the same order. The first is correctly translated, in both AV [Note: Authorized Version.] and RV [Note: Revised Version.] , ‘hart’ (see Hart). The second is incorrectly tr. [Note: translate or translation.] in AV [Note: Authorized Version.] ‘roebuck,’ and correctly in RV [Note: Revised Version.] ‘gazelle’ (see Gazelle). The third is incorrectly tr. [Note: translate or translation.] in AV [Note: Authorized Version.] ‘fallow-deer,’ and correctly in RV [Note: Revised Version.] ‘roebuck’ (see Roe, Roebuck).
