Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the Hebrew term פִרְדֶּה (pirdah) in the Strong's Greek lexicon, as the concept of a she-mule is specific to the Hebrew context. However, the general term for mule in Greek is ὑποζύγιον (hypozygion), which can refer to any beast of burden, including mules.

Usage: The term פִרְדֶּה (pirdah) is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to a female mule. Mules, being hybrids of a horse and a donkey, were valued in ancient times for their strength and endurance.

Context: The Hebrew term פִרְדֶּה (pirdah) appears in the context of ancient Israelite society, where mules were considered valuable animals for transportation and labor. The use of mules is noted in various biblical passages, highlighting their importance in trade, travel, and agriculture. The specific mention of a she-mule underscores the recognition of gender in livestock, which could have implications for breeding and utility. In the Berean Standard Bible, the term is translated as "she-mule," reflecting its gender-specific nature. The presence of mules in biblical narratives often signifies wealth and status, as they were not as common as other domesticated animals like donkeys or oxen.
