1. beasts, cattle, livestock — A collective masculine noun denoting domesticated animals, beasts of burden, or livestock in general. Used in legal contexts (Exodus 22:4, regarding liability for grazing damage), narrative (Genesis 45:17, loading beasts for the journey from Egypt), wilderness narratives (Numbers 20:4-11, concern for cattle in the desert), and poetry (Psalm 78:48, God delivering cattle to pestilence). The clusters differ only in possessive suffix (3mp 'their livestock', 2mp 'your animals', 3ms 'his beast', 1cp 'our livestock') and conjunctive particles, but the semantic core of domesticated animals/livestock is uniform throughout. 7×
