1. sense 1 — A species of lizard or reptile deemed unclean under Levitical law. The context lists it among swarming creatures that crawl on the ground. Spanish 'caracol' (snail) shows the interpretive challenge—different traditions identified different creatures. English 'sand-lizard' reflects a common scholarly suggestion. Leviticus 11:30 includes it in the comprehensive list of prohibited animals, part of Israel's holiness code distinguishing clean from unclean. 1×
