   The singular noun identifies an ox in legal and household settings: in Exodus 21:28 the APB renders an ox that gores a person, while Deuteronomy 25:4 renders an ox treading grain. The same animal is listed for sacrifice in Leviticus 22:27 and is used in a comparison in Isaiah 1:3, where the APB renders the ox as knowing its buyer.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB commonly renders the term “ox,” especially in legal, work, and sacrificial clauses, but also uses “cattle” in several livestock lists and “bullock” in Judges 6:25. These variations describe the verses' presentation rather than separate lexical senses.
