Usage: The Hebrew word "parah" primarily refers to a female bovine, specifically a cow or heifer. In the context of the Old Testament, it is often used to describe cattle, which were significant in the agrarian society of ancient Israel. Cows were valued for their milk, meat, and as sacrificial animals in religious rituals. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, cattle were a symbol of wealth and prosperity. They played a crucial role in agriculture, providing labor for plowing fields and producing milk and meat for sustenance. The heifer, in particular, held religious significance, as seen in the ritual of the red heifer (Numbers 19), which was used for purification purposes. This ritual underscores the importance of cattle in both daily life and spiritual practices.
