Strong's Lexicon oura: Tail Original Word: οὐρά Word Origin: Derived from the Greek word for "tail." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the concept of a tail is זָנָב (zanab), Strong's Hebrew 2180, which also means "tail" and is used in various Old Testament passages to symbolize the end or lesser part of something. Usage: In the New Testament, the word "oura" is used to describe the tail of an animal. It is often employed metaphorically to convey ideas of following, the end part of something, or as a symbol of deception and danger, particularly in apocalyptic literature. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek culture, the tail of an animal could symbolize various attributes, such as strength, agility, or cunning. In the context of the New Testament, particularly in the book of Revelation, the imagery of a tail is used to convey the destructive and deceptive power of evil forces. The tail, as the hindmost part of an animal, can also symbolize the least or the last, often associated with a position of lesser honor or importance.
