בְּהֵמָה187 H0929
Bestia, animal, ganado — criatura terrestre grande, salvaje o domesticada; colectivamente, ganado o animales en general.
בְּהֵמָה es uno de los términos zoológicos más comunes de la Biblia hebrea, cubriendo desde las bestias salvajes hasta el ganado de labranza. En los relatos de la creación (Gn 1:24-25), designa toda una categoría de criaturas terrestres distinta de las aves y los reptiles. Sin embargo, en las leyes sobre el descanso sabático (Éx 20:10) y la propiedad (Gn 36:6), la misma palabra se estrecha para referirse al ganado doméstico — las reses y el ganado del que depende una familia. Las traducciones alemanas lo ilustran con nitidez: 'Tier' para la bestia genérica, pero 'Vieh' para el ganado en propiedad. El célebre plural בְּהֵמוֹת en Job 40:15 recurre a la acepción más amplia de este vocablo para nombrar a una criatura de poder incomprensible.

1. bestia, animal grande — Cualquier animal terrestre grande o cuadrúpedo, usado genéricamente para las bestias del campo o los animales como clase distinta de la humanidad, las aves, los peces y los reptiles. El alemán traduce esta acepción como 'Tier' (animal) y el español como 'bestia/animal'. Prominente en oráculos de juicio donde la destrucción arrasa 'desde el hombre hasta la bestia' (Éx 9:25; Jer 50:3; Sal 135:8). 133×

2. ganado, res doméstica — Animales domésticos de rebaño — ganado, reses — mantenidos para el trabajo agrícola, la alimentación o el valor económico. Las construcciones posesivas ('tu bestia', 'su bestia') señalan propiedad y crianza. El alemán pasa consistentemente a 'Vieh' (ganado) y el español a 'ganado' en estos contextos. Central para la vida del pacto: el descanso sabático se extiende a tu בְּהֵמָה (Éx 20:10), y el justo cuida de su ganado (Pr 12:10). 57×
