horse

Definition

A horse is a large, four-legged animal that in Bible times was mostly used for doing farm work and for transporting people.

Some horses were used to pull carts or chariots, while others were used to carry individual riders.
Horses often wear a bit and bridle on their heads so they can be guided.
In the Bible, horses were considered to be valuable possessions and a measure of wealth, mainly because of their use in war. For example, King Solomon had thousands of them.
Animals that are similar to the horse are the donkey and the mule.
