'Owners' in the Bible

Now, the descendants of Reuben and descendants of Gad happened to be joint owners of a very large herd of cattle. When they observed that Jazer and Gilead were good grazing lands for cattle,

If I've consumed its produce without paying for it and snuffed out the life of its owners;

When possessions increase, so does the number of consumers; therefore what good are they to their owners, except to look at them?

Therefore, I'll give their wives to others, and their fields to new owners. Indeed, from the least important to the most important, they're all greedy for dishonest gain. From prophet to priest, they all act deceitfully.
