cattle
   abounded in the holy land. to the rearing and management of them
   the inhabitants chiefly devoted themselves deut. 8:13; 12:21; 1
   sam. 11:5; 12:3; ps. 144:14; jer. 3:24. they may be classified
   as,
   
     1. neat cattle. many hundreds of these were yearly consumed
   in sacrifices or used for food. the finest herds were found in
   bashan, beyond jordan num. 32:4. large herds also pastured on
   the wide fertile plains of sharon. they were yoked to the plough
   1 kings 19:19, and were employed for carrying burdens 1 chr.
   12:40. they were driven with a pointed rod judg. 3:31 or goad
   q.v..
   
     according to the mosaic law, the mouths of cattle employed for
   the threshing-floor were not to be muzzled, so as to prevent
   them from eating of the provender over which they trampled
   deut. 25:4. whosoever stole and sold or slaughtered an ox must
   give five in satisfaction ex. 22:1; but if it was found alive
   in the possession of him who stole it, he was required to make
   double restitution only 22:4. if an ox went astray, whoever
   found it was required to bring it back to its owner 23:4; deut.
   22:1, 4. an ox and an ass could not be yoked together in the
   plough deut. 22:10.
   
     2. small cattle. next to herds of neat cattle, sheep formed
   the most important of the possessions of the inhabitants of
   palestine gen. 12:16; 13:5; 26:14; 21:27; 29:2, 3. they are
   frequently mentioned among the booty taken in war num. 31:32;
   josh. 6:21; 1 sam. 14:32; 15:3. there were many who were owners
   of large flocks 1 sam. 25:2; 2 sam. 12:2, comp. job 1:3. kings
   also had shepherds "over their flocks" 1 chr. 27:31, from
   which they derived a large portion of their revenue 2 sam.
   17:29; 1 chr. 12:40. the districts most famous for their flocks
   of sheep were the plain of sharon isa. 65: 10, mount carmel
   micah 7:14, bashan and gilead micah 7:14. in patriarchal
   times the flocks of sheep were sometimes tended by the daughters
   of the owners. thus rachel, the daughter of laban, kept her
   father's sheep gen. 29:9; as also zipporah and her six sisters
   had charge of their father jethro's flocks ex. 2:16. sometimes
   they were kept by hired shepherds john 10:12, and sometimes by
   the sons of the family 1 sam. 16:11; 17:15. the keepers so
   familiarized their sheep with their voices that they knew them,
   and followed them at their call. sheep, but more especially rams
   and lambs, were frequently offered in sacrifice. the shearing of
   sheep was a great festive occasion 1 sam. 25:4; 2 sam. 13:23.
   they were folded at night, and guarded by their keepers against
   the attacks of the lion micah 5:8, the bear 1 sam. 17:34,
   and the wolf matt. 10:16; john 10:12. they were liable to
   wander over the wide pastures and go astray ps. 119:176; isa.
   53:6; hos. 4:16; matt. 18:12.
   
     goats also formed a part of the pastoral wealth of palestine
   gen. 15:9; 32:14; 37:31. they were used both for sacrifice and
   for food deut. 14:4, especially the young males gen. 27:9,
   14, 17; judg. 6:19; 13:15; 1 sam. 16:20. goat's hair was used
   for making tent cloth ex. 26:7; 36:14, and for mattresses and
   bedding 1 sam. 19:13, 16. see goat.
