Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to be free or wild.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance for the Hebrew עָרוֹד, as the concept of the onager is specific to the Hebrew cultural and geographical context. However, the Greek term ὄνος (onos), meaning "donkey," can be considered a broader category under which the onager might be classified, though it does not capture the specific wild nature of the onager. Usage: The term עָרוֹד is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to a wild donkey, specifically an onager, which is a symbol of freedom and untamed wilderness. Context: The Hebrew word עָרוֹד (Arod) appears in the context of describing a wild donkey, known as an onager. This animal is noted for its independence and ability to thrive in harsh, arid environments. The onager is often associated with the wilderness and is emblematic of freedom and untamed nature. In the ancient Near East, the onager was a well-known creature, admired for its speed and resilience. The Bible uses this term to convey the idea of a creature that is not easily domesticated, reflecting a life unbound by human constraints. The onager's characteristics are sometimes used metaphorically to describe individuals or nations that are wild and free-spirited.
