   The term identifies animals possessed or managed as a collective holding. In Genesis 13:7, construct forms mark the herdsmen as belonging to Abram’s and Lot’s animal holdings; in Exodus 9:3 the APB renders the clause with animals in the field and then names horses, donkeys, camels, cattle, and flock. In Genesis 47:17, several construct forms occur in an exchange for food, with the APB distinguishing horses, flock animals, cattle, and donkeys within the animals brought to Joseph.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB commonly presents the term with “livestock,” while some clauses expand the collective with “flock and cattle,” “animals,” or named kinds such as horses and donkeys. These variations reflect the verse-level presentation rather than separate lexical senses.
