 Frog
    (Heb. tsepharde'a, meaning a "marsh-leaper"). This reptile is
    mentioned in the Old Testament only in connection with one of
    the plagues which fell on the land of Egypt (Ex. 8:2-14; Ps.
    78:45; 105:30).
      In the New Testament this word occurs only in Rev. 16:13,
    where it is referred to as a symbol of uncleanness. The only
    species of frog existing in Palestine is the green frog (Rana
    esculenta), the well-known edible frog of the Continent.
