## In Jewish tradition

Interpretation: The Psalm says lions slink back to their dens at sunrise. It shows God's care in setting day for people and night for wild animals. In the primary lessons: in animal tales, a sly fox or a wild beast creeps off and hides from a bigger animal.

### Examples

- The sun ariseth, they slink away, and couch in their dens. (Writings PSA.104.22, JPS 1917) [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/judaism/S/slink/#x1)
