The term is not frequently used in the New Testament but carries significant symbolic weight due to its Old Testament associations.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Jewish culture, bulls and oxen were integral to agricultural life and religious practices. They were considered valuable livestock, used for plowing fields and as sacrificial animals in the Temple. The bull, in particular, symbolized strength and fertility. In Greco-Roman culture, bulls were also associated with various deities and used in sacrifices to appease gods.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>a prim. word<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a bull<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>bulls (2), oxen (2).<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">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 5022: ταῦρος</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ταῦρος</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ταύρου</span>, <span class="greek2">ὁ</span> (from the root meaning 'thick', 'stout'; allied with <span class="greek2">σταυρός</span>, which see; cf. <span class="abbreviation">Vanicek</span>, p. 1127; <span class="abbreviation">Fick</span> Part i., p. 246.
