Does כדב mean lie, and is it used in scripture?

Dear Whoever you are:

I don’t answer speculative questions, rather I answer specific questions that are found in Tanakh, where I have a context to tell what is going on. If you find these words while reading the text, then give us the context and the verses where they are found. If this is merely speculation, please don’t waste our time.

I’m willing to help, but not to answer speculation. There are a couple of people already on this list that when I see their names on the authorship of a message, I don’t read it. I may add your name to that list.

Sorry, my error, I missed it.

Without context, I would read this to mean "like the/a bear." Do you have context?

I assume that you mean כזב, KZB, and simply confused the middle letter ז with the fairly common (depending on the font that you're using) ד. So yes, KZB means "lie" and it appears in several places.
