However, the Greek term "μυς" (mys), meaning mouse, can be considered a general equivalent.<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The term "akbar" refers to a small rodent, specifically a mouse. In the Hebrew Bible, it is often associated with unclean animals and is mentioned in contexts that highlight its role as a creature to be avoided or as a symbol of destruction and desolation.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, mice were considered pests, often associated with destruction of crops and property. They were also seen as unclean animals according to Levitical law. The presence of mice could signify divine judgment or a curse, as they were known to bring about ruin and were often linked to plagues and disease.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive
