These animals were integral to the agrarian society of the ancient Near East, serving as sources of food, clothing, labor, and wealth. Livestock ownership was often a measure of a person's wealth and status. Biblical References: 1. Creation and Dominion: In the creation narrative, God grants humans dominion over animals, including livestock. <a href="/genesis/1-26.htm">Genesis 1:26-28</a> states, "Then God said, 'Let Us make man in Our image, after Our likeness, to rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over the livestock and all the earth itself and every creature that crawls upon it.'" 2. Patriarchal Wealth: The patriarchs, such as Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, were wealthy in livestock, which signified God's blessing. <a href="/genesis/13-2.htm">Genesis 13:2</a> notes, "And Abram had become extremely wealthy in livestock and silver and gold." Similarly, Jacob's prosperity is highlighted in <a href="/genesis/30-43.htm">Genesis 30:43</a> : "Thus Jacob became exceedingly prosperous. He owned large flocks, maidservants and menservants, and camels and donkeys." 3. Sacrificial System: Livestock played a crucial role in the sacrificial system established by God. Animals such as bulls, goats, and sheep were offered as sacrifices for atonement and worship. <a href="/leviticus/1-2.htm">Leviticus 1:2</a> instructs, "Speak to the Israelites and say to them, 'When any of you brings an offering to the LORD, you may bring as your offering an animal from the herd or the flock.'" 4. Symbolism and Metaphor: Livestock are often used symbolically in Scripture. For example, sheep are frequently used to represent God's people, with God as their shepherd. <a href="/psalms/23.htm">Psalm 23:1</a> declares, "The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want." Jesus also refers to Himself as the Good Shepherd in <a href="/john/10-11.htm">John 10:11</a> : "I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep." 5. Economic and Social Role: Livestock were central to the economy and social structure of Israel. They provided milk, meat, wool, and hides, and were used for plowing fields and transportation. <a href="/proverbs/27-23.htm">Proverbs 27:23-27</a> advises, "Be sure to know the state of your flocks, and pay close attention to your herds; for riches are not forever, nor does a crown endure to every generation. When hay is removed and new growth appears and the grain from the hills is gathered, the lambs will provide you with clothing, and the goats with the price of a field. You will have plenty of goats' milk to feed you, your household, and to nourish your maidservants." 6. Judgment and Restoration: Prophets often used livestock imagery to convey messages of judgment and restoration. In <a href="/joel/1-18.htm">Joel 1:18</a> , the devastation of the land is depicted: "How the cattle moan! The herds wander in confusion because they have no pasture; even the flocks of sheep are suffering." Conversely, restoration is promised in passages like <a href="/ezekiel/34-14.htm">Ezekiel 34:14</a> : "I will tend them in good pasture, and their grazing place will be on the mountain heights of Israel. There they will lie down in a good grazing land; they will feed in rich pasture on the mountains of Israel." Cultural Practices: Livestock management in biblical times involved practices such as herding, breeding, and protecting animals from predators. Shepherds played a vital role, often leading their flocks to water and pasture, and were responsible for the well-being of the animals. Moral and Ethical Considerations: The treatment of livestock is addressed in biblical law, emphasizing humane treatment and care. <a href="/deuteronomy/25-4.htm">Deuteronomy 25:4</a> commands, "Do not muzzle an ox while it is treading out the grain," highlighting the principle of fair treatment for working animals. Livestock in the Bible is a multifaceted topic, reflecting the economic, social, and spiritual dimensions of ancient Israelite life. Through its various references, Scripture underscores the significance of these animals in God's creation and His covenant relationship with His people.<a name="grk" id="grk"></a><div class="vheading2">Greek</div><a href="/greek/4619b.htm">4619b. sitistos -- fattened</a> ...
