In the New Testament, it is used to describe animals that serve practical purposes, such as donkeys or horses.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Greco-Roman world, pack animals were essential for travel and commerce. Roads were often rugged, and these animals were vital for transporting goods and people across long distances. The use of such animals was common in both urban and rural settings, reflecting the agrarian and trade-based economy of the time.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/2932.htm">ktaomai</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a beast of burden<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>beast (1), beasts (1), cattle (1), mounts (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 2934: κτῆνος</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">κτῆνος</span></span>, <span class="greek2">κτήνους</span>, <span class="greek2">τό</span> (from <span class="greek2">κτάομαι</span>; hence, properly, a possession, property, especially in cattle); <span class="accented">a beast, especially a beast of burden</span>: <a href="/interlinear/luke/10-34.htm">Luke 10:34</a>; plural, <a href="/interlinear/acts/23-24.htm">Acts 23:24</a>; <a href="/interlinear/revelation/18-13.htm">Revelation 18:13</a>; it seems to be used for quadrupeds as opposed to fishes and birds in <a href="/interlinear/1_corinthians/15-39.htm">1 Corinthians 15:39</a>; so for <span class="hebrew">בְּהֵמָה</span>, <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-25.htm">Genesis 1:25</a>; <a href="/interlinear/genesis/2-20.htm">Genesis 2:20</a>.
