ash.te.rah denotes the cattle offspring named among a household’s livestock increase or loss.

The attested form occurs in livestock lists, where it identifies the cattle offspring included among a household’s produce: blessed and multiplied in Deuteronomy 7:13 and Deuteronomy 28:4, cursed in Deuteronomy 28:18, and left behind no longer in Deuteronomy 28:51.

    In Deuteronomy 7:13 and Deuteronomy 28:4, the form occurs in clauses about blessing and multiplication, alongside the fruit of the womb, ground, and flock; the APB renders the livestock item as “the offspring of your cattle.” In Deuteronomy 28:18 the same item falls under the curse, while Deuteronomy 28:51 places it among what will not remain after devastation; the APB likewise renders the clause “the offspring of your cattle.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across all four verses, the APB presents the relevant livestock item as “the offspring of your cattle.” This rendering confirms the verse-level livestock context rather than isolating the term mechanically.
