Ape (Hebrew: קוֹף qōf - Strongs: H6971) — Nowhere in the Bible is the ape supposed to be indigenous to Israel. Apes are mentioned with gold, silver, ivory, and peacocks among the precious things imported by Solomon from Tarshish (1 Kings 10:22; 2 Chronicles 9:21). The "ape" of the KJV is what is called an Old World monkey today. "True apes" (chimpanzees, gorillas and orangutans) were known of only later.
Verses:
- 1 Kings 10:22
