2, shor, so called from its strength, boldness, etc. Ex 21:28-36; Pr 14:4; Eze 1:10. In Ps 22:12 for 'strong bulls' the word is abbir, signifying 'mighty one,' it is translated 'bulls' in Ps 50:13; 68:30; Isa 34:7; Jer 50:11. The ox is typical of attributive power in patience as found in the living creatures in Eze 1:10; and in Re 4:7.
For WILD BULL in Isa 51:20 the word is to; and the WILD OX in De 14:5 is teo. Both of these are supposed to refer to some large antelope, which could be caught in a strong net.
