Numbers 23:24

“Behold, the people shall rise up as a great lion, etc.] Or rather, “as the lioness” f369, which, as Aelianus says f370, is the strongest and most warlike beast, the most fierce and furious, as is believed both by Greeks and Barbarians; and he mentions the heroism of Perdiccas the Macedonian, and Semiramis the Assyrian, in engaging with and killing, not the lion or leopard, but lioness: and shall lift up himself as a young lion; both phrases denoting the courage and strength of the people of Israel, in attacking their enemies and engaging them: he shall not lie down; being once roused up and engaged in war: until he eat of the prey, and drink the blood of the slain; as the lion does when it…”

“As a great Lion - As a lion rouseth up himself to fight, or to go out to the prey, so shall Israel stir up themselves to warlike attempts against their enemies. He shall not lie down - Not rest or cease from fighting and pursuing. Numbers 23:28”
