crib
e.vus denotes a feeding or lodging place associated with an ox, donkey, or cattle.
The attested verses consistently place e.vus in settings involving domestic animals: a master's place known by a donkey, a place where a wild ox might lodge, and a cattle setting whose condition affects produce.

All three occurrences use the masculine singular construct form in an animal-related clause. In Isaiah 1:3 the APB renders the donkey as knowing “the crib of its master”; in Job 39:9 it asks whether the wild ox will lodge “at your crib”; and in Proverbs 14:4 it describes the condition of the “crib” where cattle are absent or present.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term as “crib” in each cited verse, in clauses concerning a donkey, a wild ox, or cattle. This repeated wording confirms the animal-setting of the clauses rather than establishing a finer distinction.
