   The singular and plural noun names the animal used in sacrificial actions: in Exodus 29:10 the APB renders its presentation before the tent and the laying of hands on its head, while Exodus 29:11 renders its slaughter before the LORD. In Leviticus 16:11 it is the animal belonging to Aaron for a sin offering, and in 1 Kings 18:23 it is one of two animals chosen, cut up, and placed on wood. The same noun also occurs in livestock settings, as Genesis 32:16 places plural animals among separate droves and Jeremiah 50:27 calls for the slaughter of plural animals.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the supplied verses, the APB commonly renders the animal as “bull,” “bullock,” or “bulls,” especially in offering and slaughter contexts. Because the APB is a whole-verse translation, those English choices only confirm the verse-level presentation.
