A predatory wolf

A predatory wolf

By metaphor: a dangerous person liable to harm, like a wolf that stalks prey.

("Benjamin is a wolf that will devour in the morning, devouring until evening, dividing the spoil" - in the beginning of Matthew 27, and so: "Her princes around her are like wolves that devour prey, to shed blood, to lose souls, to make atonement for the sins of the wicked" - Ezekiel 22:27, and so: "Naphtali is a deer/ Benjamin is a young deer/ Like a wolf that will devour in the morning" - Yoram Teharlev/ Blessings of Yosef)

Definition (Hebrew)

בְּהַשְׁאָלָה: אָדָם מְסֻכָּן הֶעָלוּל לְהַזִּיק כְּמוֹ זְאֵב הַמְּשַׁחֵר לְטֶרֶף.

("בִּנְיָמִין זְאֵב יִטְרָף בַּבֹּקֶר יֹאכַל עַד וְלָעֶרֶב יְחַלֵּק שָׁלָל"- בְּרֵאשִׁית מָט כז, וְכֵן:"שָׂרֶיהָ בְקִרְבָּהּ כִּזְאֵבִים טֹרְפֵי טָרֶף לִשְׁפָּךְ דָּם לְאַבֵּד נְפָשׁוֹת לְמַעַן בְּצֹעַ בָּצַע"- יְחֶזְקֵאל כב כז, וְכֵן:"נַפְתָּלִי אַיָּלָה/ בִּנְיָמִין יָדוֹ קַלָּה/ כְּמוֹ זְאֵב יִטְרֹף בַּבֹּקֶר"- יוֹרָם טְהַרְלֵב/ יְבֹרַךְ יוֹסֵף)
