     * the unclean.

     * the roe-buck.
       {Tzevee,} in Arabic {zaby,} Chaldee and Syriac {tavya,}
       denotes the gazelle or antelope, so called from its stately
       beauty, as the word imports.  In size it is smaller than the
       roe, of an elegant form, and it motions are light and
       graceful.  It bounds seemingly without effort, and runs with
       such swiftness that few creatures can exceed it.  (2; Sa 2:18.)
       Its fine eyes are so much celebrated as even to become a
       proverb; and its flesh is much esteemed for food among eastern
       nations, having a sweet, musky taste, which is highly
       agreeable to their palates.  (1; Ki 4:23.)  If to these
       circumstances we add, that they are gregarious, and common all
       over the East, whereas the roe is either not known at all, or
       else very rare in these countries, little doubt can remain
       that the gazelle and not the roe is intended by the original
       word.
