'Beasts of the Field' in the Bible

You are to be holy men to me: the flesh of no animal whose death has been caused by the beasts of the field may be used for your food; it is to be given to the dogs.

But in the seventh year let the land have a rest and be unplanted; so that the poor may have food from it: and let the beasts of the field take the rest. Do the same with your vine-gardens and your olive-trees.

I will not send them all out in one year, for fear that their land may become waste, and the beasts of the field be increased overmuch against you.
