Job 39:9-12 Will the wild ox [aurochs] consent to serve you? Will he stay by your manger at night? Can you hold him to the furrow with a harness? Will he till the valleys behind you? Will you rely on him for his great strength? Will you leave your heavy work to him? Can you trust him to bring in your grain and gather it to your threshing floor?

The King James translation, while beautiful, can be pretty far off the mark.

Yeah I prefer the Geneva bible, from the side by side comparisons I have made it is almost identical to King James though... The other translations I have read (NIV and NASB) seem pretty watered down to me after reading the Geneva or King James though... but to your point, my Hebrew to English translation and the Israel bible also both say wild ox.
