However, the concept of wild animals and their symbolic meanings can be found throughout the Greek New Testament in various contexts. Usage: The term "arod" refers to a type of wild donkey. In the context of the Bible, it is used to describe a creature known for its untamed and free-spirited nature. The wild donkey is often associated with the wilderness and is symbolic of freedom and independence. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, wild donkeys were common in the desert regions.

In the Bible, animals often carry symbolic meanings, and the wild donkey is no exception, representing untamed freedom and sometimes stubbornness.
