However, the Greek word ὄνος (onos, Strong's G3688) refers to a donkey, which is related as a parent species of the mule.<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The term "pirdah" refers to a mule, a hybrid animal resulting from the crossbreeding of a male donkey and a female horse. In biblical times, mules were valued for their strength, endurance, and ability to carry heavy loads over long distances. They were often used for transportation and as beasts of burden.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, mules were considered valuable animals, often associated with royalty and wealth. They were not as common as donkeys or horses, which made them a symbol of status and prestige. The breeding of mules was prohibited under the Mosaic Law (Leviticus 19:19), which may have contributed to their rarity and value. Despite this, mules were used by kings and nobles, as seen in various biblical accounts.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from the same as <a href="/hebrew/6505.htm">pered</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a female mule<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>mule (3).<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">מִּרְדָּה</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>she-mule</b></font>;
