However, the concept of "striped" or "banded" animals can be related to descriptions of physical characteristics in the Greek New Testament, though not directly linked to a specific Greek word in Strong's Concordance. Usage: The word עָקֹד appears in the context of describing livestock, particularly in the narrative of Jacob's breeding practices in Genesis. Context: The term עָקֹד is found in the Hebrew Bible in the book of Genesis, specifically in the account of Jacob's dealings with Laban. In Genesis 30:39, Jacob employs a selective breeding strategy to increase his own flocks by ensuring that the stronger animals bore young that were עָקֹד (striped), speckled, or spotted. This term is part of a broader narrative where Jacob uses his knowledge and cunning to prosper despite Laban's attempts to deceive him. The use of עָקֹד in this context highlights the physical characteristics of the animals that were considered valuable and distinct. The narrative underscores themes of divine providence and human ingenuity, as Jacob's success is attributed to both his cleverness and God's blessing.
