Original Word: עָקֹד
Part of Speech: Adjective
Transliteration: aqod

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for "aqod" in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as this specific term pertains to Hebrew descriptions of animal patterns. However, the concept of speckled or patterned animals can be related to Greek terms describing appearance or color, such as ποικίλος (poikilos), meaning "varied" or "diverse."

Usage: The term "aqod" is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe animals, particularly livestock, that have a specific pattern on their skin or fur, such as being speckled or striped. This term is often associated with the appearance of sheep and goats.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, livestock was a significant measure of wealth and prosperity. The appearance of animals, including their color and patterns, could affect their value and desirability. In the context of the patriarchal narratives, the breeding and selection of livestock were crucial for economic survival and success. The use of "aqod" in the Bible reflects the importance of these patterns in the context of Jacob's story, where the appearance of the animals played a role in the fulfillment of God's promises to him.
