14) [line 9] "ARYEH TOREF... ME'ONOSAV" - "The lion tears its prey for its cubs, and strangles prey for its lionesses; and it fills up its lairs with prey, and its dens with carcasses" (Nachum 2:13). The verse implies that a lion is Toref (attacks its prey, killing it first) but the Gemara explains that the lion is only Toref when it needs to feed its young, or to bring the prey to its cave.
