Hunter with Dogs and Gazelle



‎The Bible doesn’t explicitly mention hunting with dogs among the ancient Jews but Josephus does in his Antiquities, book 4 chapter 8 section 9. This Egyptian picture shows a successful hunter carrying a gazelle and leading his leashed hunting dogs. Among the Egyptians were specialists in handling hunting dogs, who often worked their dogs in tandem with a hunter in a chariot. This would explain the absence of hunting weapons in this picture.
Lev 17:13, Ps 22:20, Prov 6:5, Jer 16:16
