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. Exodus 9:3-21 , etc. Another word, tson , signifies small cattle, that is, sheep and goats. Genesis 30:39-43; Genesis 31:8-43; Ecclesiastes 2:7 . seh has the same meaning, Genesis 30:32; Ezekiel 34:17-22 : in Isaiah 7:25 it is translated 'lesser cattle,' and in Isaiah 43:23 'small cattle.'
