"As part of the reward for observing His rules, G-d instructed Moses to tell the Jewish people that He will protect them from wild beasts by removing these types of animals from their land."
[Chabad.org]
No more wild beasts, had been in years past thrown into a pit of wild dogs that barked and bit, wild cats that scratched, chameleons slivering up the arms.
Snakes waiting for foods of vermin, laying in their glass cages, snakes once the staff of Moses baring fangs to change the mind of Pharaoh.
Sitting on couches petting wild beasts, dogs as wolves named Zev [wolf]. Brushing the wolf's teeth after his meal of red bloody meat, predatory animals, animals hungering for flesh, gripping and ripping.
The animal they call a "pet," leashing him, binding him, dragging him outside, wearing a multi colored tunic becoming ripped by his teeth sharp like knives.
Dreaming of freedom, freedom from wild beasts. Interpreting dreams, dreams of freedom from their nails gripping, a Promised Land without the threat of their bitter bite.
Climbing up out of a pit as one whole piece, unscathed, Daniel out of a pit of hungry lions, breeds of dogs with gripping jaws, sharp claws, passing by, unnoticed.
Sniffing, a tamer of beasts, fish swimming delightfully, no more digging, no more dependent dogs.
