re.em denotes the wild ox, appearing both as an animal and in comparisons centered on its horns and force.

The attested use chiefly names the animal in scenes of resistance to human control, slaughter, and calf-like movement; it also occurs in comparisons that focus on its horns as an image of force against peoples.

1. The animal in narrative and poetic scenes · dominant

   The singular noun is the animal questioned about serving, lodging, being bound, and harrowing in Job 39:9 and Job 39:10. Plural forms occur among animals going down in Isaiah 34:7, while Psalm 29:6 compares Lebanon and Sirion to a son of this animal; in Psalm 29:6 the APB renders the comparison "like a son of wild oxen."

2. Horns as a comparison of force · common

   In Numbers 23:22 and Numbers 24:8, the singular noun occurs in clauses comparing God's bringing people out of Egypt with "the horns of a wild ox" in the APB; the following language concerns nations, broken bones, and piercing. Deuteronomy 33:17 likewise places its horns in a comparison with goring peoples to the ends of the earth.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Where the clause makes the correspondence clear, the APB uses "wild ox" or "wild oxen" and twice refers to "the horns of a wild ox." In Psalm 22:22 and Psalm 92:11, the supplied APB wording does not visibly isolate the noun's contribution, so those verses do not support a more specific rendering claim.
