Strong's Lexicon shor: Ox, Bull Original Word: שׁוֹר Word Origin: Derived from the root שׁוּר (shur), which means "to travel" or "to journey," possibly alluding to the movement or strength of the animal. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1016 (bous): Refers to an ox or cow, used in similar contexts in the New Testament, such as in 1 Corinthians 9:9, which quotes Deuteronomy 25:4. Usage: The Hebrew word "shor" primarily refers to an ox or a bull. In the ancient Near Eastern context, these animals were highly valued for their strength and utility in agriculture, particularly for plowing fields and threshing grain. The term is often used in the Bible to symbolize strength, power, and sometimes stubbornness. It also appears in legal contexts, such as laws concerning the treatment and behavior of oxen. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, oxen were essential for agricultural productivity and were considered valuable assets. They were used for plowing fields, pulling carts, and threshing grain. The ownership of oxen was a sign of wealth and prosperity. The Mosaic Law contains specific regulations regarding the care and use of oxen, reflecting their importance in daily life and economic activity. For example, the law required that an ox not be muzzled while treading out the grain (Deuteronomy 25:4), ensuring fair treatment of the animal.
