'Beast' in the Bible

the likeness of any animal that is on the earth, or of any winged bird that flies in the sky,

Among the animals, you may eat any animal that has the divided hoof [that is, a hoof] split into two parts [especially at its distal extremity] and that chews the cud.

He may have him beaten forty times, but no more. He is not to be beaten with more stripes than these and he is not to be degraded [that is, treated like an animal] in your sight.

‘Cursed is he who is intimate with any animal.’ And all the people shall say, ‘Amen.’
