Strong's Lexicon pered: Mule Original Word: פֶרֶד Word Origin: Derived from the root פָּרַד (parad), meaning "to separate" or "to divide." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for "pered" in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as the concept of a mule is more culturally specific to the Hebrew context. However, the Greek word ὄνος (onos, Strong's G3688) refers to a donkey, which is part of the mule's lineage. Usage: The Hebrew word "pered" refers to a mule, which is a hybrid animal resulting from the crossbreeding of a male donkey and a female horse. In the Bible, mules are often associated with royalty and wealth, as they were considered valuable animals for transportation and labor due to their strength and endurance. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, mules were prized for their ability to carry heavy loads over long distances, making them ideal for trade and travel. They were often used by kings and nobles, as they were more reliable than horses in certain terrains. The breeding of mules was a sophisticated practice, reflecting the advanced agricultural and animal husbandry techniques of the time.
