'Cattle' in the Bible
Why have you brought up the Lord's community into this wilderness? So that we and our cattle should die here?
Then the Israelites said to him, "We will go along the highway, and if we or our cattle drink any of your water, we will pay for it. We will only pass through on our feet, without doing anything else."
"You must exact a tribute for the Lord from the fighting men who went out to battle: one life out of five hundred, from the people, the cattle, and from the donkeys and the sheep.
From the Israelites' half-share you are to take one portion out of fifty of the people, the cattle, the donkeys, and the sheep -- from every kind of animal -- and you are to give them to the Levites, who are responsible for the care of the Lord's tabernacle."
The cattle numbered 36,000; the Lord's tribute was 72.
Now the Reubenites and the Gadites possessed a very large number of cattle. When they saw that the lands of Jazer and Gilead were ideal for cattle,
the land that the Lord subdued before the community of Israel, is ideal for cattle, and your servants have cattle."
Thus they will have towns in which to live, and their grazing lands will be for their cattle, for their possessions, and for all their animals.
