However, the concept of strength and power can be found in Greek words like "δυνατός" (dunatos - Strong's G1415), meaning powerful or mighty.<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The term "reem" is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to a powerful and untamable animal, often translated as "wild ox" or "unicorn" in various English versions. The creature is depicted as strong and majestic, symbolizing strength and might. In the Berean Standard Bible, it is typically rendered as "wild ox."<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>The reem is thought to refer to a now-extinct species of wild cattle, possibly the aurochs, which was known for its size and strength. In ancient Near Eastern cultures, the reem was a symbol of power and was often associated with deities and kings. The imagery of the reem in the Bible reflects its cultural significance as a representation of untamed strength and divine power.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span
