Boyd’s Bible Dictionary:
(capital). Domestic bovine animals, as oxen, cows, bulls, and calves; also any livestock (Gen. 13:2; Ex. 12:29; 34:19; Num. 20:19; 32:16; Psa. 50:10; Job 1:3). [BULL.]
“Cattle” From Concise Bible Dictionary:
Cattle
Various Hebrew words are used in reference to the cow and the ox as “cattle.” The word miqneh, however, often used for “cattle,” signifies “possession,” because the principal property of nomadic tribes consisted of their cattle: the word includes also sheep and goats, but not horses and asses (Ex. 9:3-21). Another word, tsoit, signifies small cattle, that is, sheep and goats (Gen. 30:39-43; Gen. 31:8-43; Eccl. 2:7). seh has the same meaning (Gen. 30:32; Ezek. 34:17-22); in Isaiah 7:25 it is translated “lesser cattle,” and in Isaiah 43:23 “small cattle.”
Flock of Sheep
Flock of Goats
“Beast” From Concise Bible Dictionary:
Besides the ordinary use of this word—such as distinguishing all animals from man, (Ex. 9:10; Psa. 36:6); and as specifying quadrupeds from fowls and creeping things, (Gen. 8:19)— the word is used symbolically for the ignorance of man (Psa. 73:22); and for his acting as an irrational creature, that is, without conscience before God. The word is beir, translated “brutish” in (Psa. 94:8; Jer. 10:8,14,21; Jer. 51:17). Great worldly powers, cheyva, θηρίον, having different characters according to the symbolic creature specified, but signifying in each case the absence of all moral connection with God: used by Daniel for the four great kingdoms, (Dan. 7:3-23); and in Revelation 13:1 to Revelation 20:10 for the revived Roman empire and for the Antichrist, God’s executive powers in creation and providence, ζῶον, unhappily translated “beasts” in the A.V. in Revelation 4:6-9, where it should be “living creatures,” as in Ezekiel. See LIVING CREATURES.
