terms used synonymously with ox, oxen, and properly a generic name for horned cattle when

4:15) “oxen,” (Genesis 12:16) Kine is used in the Bible as the plural of cow. In (Isaiah 51:20) the
“wild bull” (“wild ox” in (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.
