bᵉhêmâh
livestock of
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.
