Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Corresponds to the Hebrew word שׁוֹר (shor), meaning "bull" or "ox."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • Strong's Greek Number 1016: βους (bous) • meaning "ox" or "bull," used in the New Testament to refer to cattle, often in the context of agricultural work or sacrificial practices. Usage: The term תּוֹר is used in the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament, specifically in the book of Daniel, to denote a bull. It is a term that reflects the cultural and religious significance of bulls in ancient Near Eastern societies, where they were often associated with fertility, strength, and divinity. Context: The Aramaic word תּוֹר (tor) appears in the book of Daniel, a text that includes sections written in Aramaic. In Daniel 4:25 (BSB), the term is used in the context of Nebuchadnezzar's dream and subsequent madness, where he is described as living among the animals and eating grass like an ox. The use of תּוֹר in this passage underscores the king's humbling transformation from a powerful ruler to a state of bestial existence. The bull, as a symbol, often represents strength and authority, making Nebuchadnezzar's reduction to a beastly state all the more poignant. This reflects the broader biblical theme of divine sovereignty and the humbling of human pride.
