However, the concept of a wild or untamed animal can be found in Greek terms like ἄγριος (agrios), meaning wild or savage.<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The term "pere" refers to a wild donkey, an animal known for its untamed and independent nature. In the Hebrew Bible, it is often used metaphorically to describe people or nations that are rebellious, untamed, or living outside the bounds of societal norms. The wild donkey is emblematic of freedom and a lack of restraint, often living in desolate and uninhabited areas.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern culture, the wild donkey was a symbol of the wilderness and freedom. Unlike domesticated donkeys, wild donkeys roamed the arid regions and were known for their resilience and ability to survive in harsh conditions. They were considered untamable and were often used in literature and proverbs to illustrate independence and defiance.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from an unused word<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a wild donkey<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>wild donkey (6), wild donkeys (4).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">מֶּ֫רֶא</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun masculine</b></font><sup>Job 39:5</sup> (<font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>masculine</b></font> and <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>feminine</b></font> <a href="/interlinear/jeremiah/2-24.htm">Jeremiah 2:24</a>, but <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>feminine</b></font> probably erroneous, compare Kö<sup>Synt. 157</sup> Albr<sup>ZAW xvi (1896), 68</sup>) <font size="+1"><b>wild ass</b></font> (probably from swiftness); — <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">פ</font> absolute <a href="/interlinear/hosea/8-9.htm">Hosea 8:9</a> + (so <a href="/interlinear/jeremiah/2-24.htm">Jeremiah 2:24</a> Gi; van d.
