and-on-horses
A domesticated horse, primarily used in biblical texts as a riding or draft animal, often for cavalry or war purposes. The word is also attested in post-biblical Hebrew for 'horse.' In a few contexts (notably in post-biblical Hebrew and later Aramaic), a closely related form can mean 'swallow' (the bird), likely as an analogical extension due to movement or speed, but this meaning does not appear in the Hebrew Bible itself. The primary sense in the Hebrew Bible is equine, referring to the animal kept and used by humans.
