Bible Animals: Asp or Adder
Asp or Adder in the ancient World.

Ancient Asp or Adder. THE terms Asp and Adder are used almost as synonyms in the Scriptures. The true asp was a most venomous reptile, whose bite was followed by dimness of vision, swelling, pain, stupor, convulsions, and death. The poison was contained in a small sac in the mouth, and was ejected through a groove or orifice in one of the teeth, which was so constructed as to lie flat on the roof of the mouth, except in the act of biting, when it was elevated to penetrate the flesh. The term adder is used in the Scriptures to describe several species of snake. The adder is made by Jacob to characterize the tribe of Dan : Dan shall be a serpent by the way, an adder in the path, that biteth the horse heels, so that his rider shall fall backward." - Animals, Birds, Insects, And Reptiles Of The Bible

Bible Animals: Ape
Ape in the ancient World.

Apes in the Bible. Imported, by Solomon's " navy of Tarshish," from South India or Ceylon. - Animal Life in the Scriptures
Ape in Fausset's Bible Dictionary Imported once every three years in Solomon's and Hiram's Tarshish fleets (1 Kings 10:22; 2 Chronicles 9:21). Hebrew; quoph. The ape in Sanskrit is called kapi, "ramble;" Greek kepos, akin to English ape. Solomon, as a naturalist, collected specimens from various lands. Tarshish is identified by Sir Emerson Tennent with some Ceylon seaport; so the apes (quophim) brought to Solomon probably came from Ceylon, which abounds also in "ivory and peacocks." The Tamil names moreover, for "apes," "ivory," and "peacocks," are identical with the Hebrew. Others think Ophir was on the E. African coast; then the apes would be of Ethiopia.
