chomet (Leviticus 11:30). Rather "a lizard." Some think the Stellio lacerta . The Chaldee means "to bow down"; the Muslims kill it, as though it mimicked them at prayers. The shablul in Psalms 58:8 is a "snail" or 'slug" (limax ), which delights in the damp night; but in the hot sunshine, as it crawls over a dry surface and moistens the way with its secretion, its moisture melts away.
