LIZARD, LARGE LIZARD
Cold-blooded reptile, very similar to the snake, but has four legs.
There are in Syria a large number of reptiles, varying greatly in size, appearance, and habitation; some are amphibians, and others live on desert rocks or among ancient ruins.
Lizards were declared unclean by Levitical law (Lev. 11:30), as were other species, such as snails and frogs (Lev. 11:29).
