Bull. A term used synonymously with ox, oxen, and properly a generic name for horned cattle, when a full age and fit for the plough. It is variously rendered "bullock," Isaiah 65:25, "cow," Ezekiel 4:15, "oxen," Genesis 12:16.
The Hebrew word, Kine, is used in the Bible as the plural of cow. In Isaiah 51:20, the "wild bull" ("wild ox" in Deuteronomy 14:5), was possibly one of the larger species of antelope, and took its name from its swiftness. Dr. Robinson mentions larger herds of black and almost harmless buffaloes as still existing in Palestine, and these may be the animal indicated.
