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 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.
