Tor denotes bullocks, especially animals listed for provision, purchase, and offering in the temple setting.

The clearest attested use places the plural form among bulls, rams, and lambs supplied or acquired for offerings in Ezra 6:9, Ezra 6:17, and Ezra 7:17. Its contribution in the Daniel occurrences is less recoverable from the unaligned translation, though the same plural absolute form occurs there.

Senses in use

  1. Bullocks in offering-related animal lists · dominant

    The plural absolute form occurs in Ezra 6:9 among animals needed for burnt offerings; the APB renders the list with “young bulls, rams, and lambs.” In Ezra 6:17 the APB renders animals brought for the dedication as “one hundred bulls,” and in Ezra 7:17 it renders animals to be purchased and offered as “bulls, rams, and lambs.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: In the Ezra verses, the APB presents the animal lists with “young bulls” or “bulls.” In Daniel 5:21 it includes “oxen,” while the contribution of the form is not separately visible in the APB wording of Daniel 4:22, Daniel 4:29, and Daniel 4:30.
