The coney is another unclean animal that the Hebrews did not eat. When Adam named the coney he must have seen the coney take a treasure into his den, then return to the opening to defend it with bared teeth. His name means 'hide the treasure' but it also means 'mystery of the biting teeth'. The coney is a symbol of a teacher who hides the Gospel. ^{[v 1]}^{[v 2]}. ^{[p 1]}	Notes Symbols Vocabulary ↑ שפן - coney, hide, treasure up ↑ coney shaphan שפן 𝆑- mystery פ of the biting teeth שן	Art ↑ A picture of c aoney with cross-section of his den.

In the Bible, God tells us that he is both Holy and Love. Holiness is expressed by the law and judgement. We don't like the law because it bites us like the bared teeth of the coney. In his word, the message of his love is the treasure. ^[1]^[2] The coney represents the teacher that is always telling you what you did wrong, and never expresses any love or how to get forgiveness through Christ. The treasure; the love, is hidden away.

When God explains himself through the cross, we see that he is Holy because all our sin is punished. And we see that he is Love, because rather than punish us, Jesus volunteered to take our place. This would be like your mother catching you do a bad thing, but rather than punish you, she punished herself.	Notes Symbols Vocabulary	Art Questions Answers

The coney-like teacher uses the Bible as a weapon. They never tell you how to receive the love of God.
