yachmur. What species of deer is referred to under this name is not known. The only description of it in scripture is that it was a clean animal that the Israelites might eat, and that it was supplied to the table of Solomon. Deut. 14: 5; 1 Kings 4: 23. The Hebrew name seems to imply that it was some deer of a 'red' colour.
