Wild Beast Of The Islands
From BiblePortal Wikipedia
Wild Beast Of The Islands [1]
is the rendering of the A.V. at Isaiah 13:22; Isaiah 34:14; Jeremiah 1:39, of the Heb. word which occurs in this sense only in the plur. אַיַּי , Iyim, although it frequently occurs both in the sing. and plur. in the sense of "island." The ancient interpreters variously understand Cats (Chald. and Kimchi) and Spectres (Sept. Ὀμπλεμταύρος ); but later writers generally agree that the Jackal (q.v.) is meant, from its habit of Howling (Bochart, Hieroz. 1:843).
