What are the words that the word beast translates from?The words that are used to describe “beasts” in Hebrew are the words “Behemah” which means brute beast #929, “Beir” which also means brute beast, and “Chevya” which means a creature separate from Adam man

#2423.Examples of how these words are used are as follows...

Exodus 9:9 The Father caused boils to cover Egyptians and the beasts. One could use the argument that the Bible is talking about the Egyptian cattle that is overlooked and this is in the preceding verse #6 when all the cattle of the Egyptians were dead already. So from this we can take the idea that the beasts were not cattle and they were in Egypt with the Israelites.the cattle of the Egyptians were dead already. So from this we can take the idea that the beasts were not cattle and they were in Egypt with the Israelites.

Exodus 9:19 The Bible tells us that the beasts worked side by side with Israelite men in the field and the Israelites and beasts both had homes.

Exodus 11:5-7 Tells us that the first born of the beasts died as well as the first born of the Egyptians. The cattle again were dead and the Bible tells us that the beasts are separate from the Israelites.

Exodus 19:13 The beasts left Egypt with the Israelites and both were told not to touch the mountain with their hands. Notice he did not tell the beasts to not touch the mountain with their paws nor hooves, and they wouldn't have understood what Moses was talking about anyway. So the beasts understood simple directions and had hands.

Exodus 22:19 The Bible tells us that if an Israelite lay with a beast then they are to be put to death.

Leviticus 20:15-16 Tells us the same thing as above in Exodus 22:19, which is to not lay with a beast. The only difference here is that this verse states if you lay with a beast, then both the man and beast will be put to death. Both being put to death is proof that the man or woman as well as the beast knew what they were doing was wrong. An example of this particular law being enforced can be found in Numbers Chapter 25. This concept is totally different then a man or woman with a quadruped animal.

Jeremiah 31:27 As a sign in the last days, the beasts will be mixing their seed with the seed of man, which is the definition of the word of miscegenation. So we know the beasts seed can be mixed with seed of the Israelite.

Exodus 23:29 When the Israelites entered Canaan land, the Father refused to completely empty out the land for the Israelites, otherwise the “Beasts of the field” would multiply against them. The Bible could not have been talking about lions or such because there were approximately 3 million Israelites coming with Moses to Canaan land. The few lions or so would not have been a problem for millions of Israelites to take care of, unless of course we are talking about beasts that could conduct raids on the Israelite encampments and attack Israelites in a concerted effort. So the beasts of the field can multiply and force the Israelites out of their own land.

Judges 20:48 When the men of Israel attacked they not only killed the men, but also killed the beasts. The whole idea of warfare is for the conquering people is to take war booty which includes cattle. So, the cattle would not have been put to death, but rather would have been taken by the conquering tribe. This passage implies a beast can have loyalty to an enemy.

Jeremiah 33:10 The beasts lived in the streets of Jerusalem with the Israelites. A strange place to keep cattle, unless the Bible is talking about some other type of beast.

Numbers 31:46-47 Moses divides the booty (spoils of war) which in this case are the beasts of the field. Again this cannot mean cattle because the verses prior to these talk specifically about the cattle being divided, so it means something else.

Jeremiah 27:6 The beasts of the field in Jerusalem were given to the King Of Babylon, Nebuchadnezzar, to serve him.

Daniel 4:25 When Nebuchadnezzar went insane he was taken care of by the beasts of the field. This cannot mean lions and such because it is more likely that they would have killed him and ate him instead of tending to his physical needs.Other information about the beasts can come from.

Zechariah 8:10 when we are told that the beasts are employable just like Israelite men are. We know beasts have a spirit as mentioned in

Ecclesiastes 3:21, and have a consciousness and ability to worship the Father as creator Isaiah; 43:20.

I believe that passage is referring to specifically non-Hebrews (and would refer to non-Christians now by extension). Pagan nations in the bible were repeatedly compared to animals (but unlike the talmud, never said to be lesser beings, just barbarians). It was actually pretty common to compare foreigners to animals in the ancient world, the romans classified non-romans as animals quite frequently.
