בְּהֶמְתָּ֖/הּ
𐤁𐤄𐤌𐤕/𐤄
bᵉhêmâh
its livestock
A non-human land animal, primarily referring to domesticated large animals (such as cattle, oxen, sheep, goats, and sometimes horses or donkeys), but also used more broadly for beasts or animals in general, particularly terrestrial quadrupeds. The term is frequently collective, encompassing herds or groups of animals, and stands in contrast with wild animals or smaller creatures. In some contexts, behemâh may refer specifically to livestock or cattle raised for agricultural, transportation, or sacrificial purposes, but the term can also be used generically for 'beast' or 'animal' as distinct from humans.

her beast
| Morphological Notes | Feminine singular noun in construct state + 3rd feminine singular pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun בְּהֵמָה denotes a non-human land animal, especially a domesticated quadruped or livestock. The feminine singular construct form with a 3rd feminine singular suffix yields "her beast," preserving both the singular morphology and the possessive suffix. |
