Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G654: ἀποκαθίστημι (apokathistēmi) • to restore, to bring back to a former state.
• G2398: ἴδιος (idios) • one's own, pertaining to oneself.

These Greek entries, while not directly related to the Hebrew term תְּאוֹ, provide a broader understanding of the biblical lexicon and the interconnectedness of language in scriptural texts. The Greek terms reflect concepts of restoration and personal possession, which, while not directly linked to the תְּאוֹ, highlight the diverse nature of biblical language and its application across different contexts.

Usage: The term תְּאוֹ appears in the context of describing animals, specifically in the list of clean animals in Deuteronomy 14:5.

Context: The Hebrew word תְּאוֹ (te'o) is traditionally understood to refer to a type of large, horned animal, often identified as an antelope or wild ox. In the context of the Old Testament, it is listed among the clean animals that the Israelites were permitted to eat. The precise identification of the תְּאוֹ is uncertain, as the term could refer to various species of large, horned animals native to the region, such as the addax or oryx. The Berean Standard Bible translates this term in Deuteronomy 14:5 as part of a list of animals that includes the deer, gazelle, and ibex, suggesting a creature of similar nature and habitat. The תְּאוֹ is noted for its strength and agility, characteristics that would have been well-known to the ancient Israelites.
