Definition: domesticated four-footed animals, primarily livestock

Notes: τὰ θρέμματα in RV JHN 4:12 · LV JHN 4:12 · Read together JHN 4:12 would include cattle (bulls, cows, oxen), sheep, goats, donkeys, and possibly camels. It is difficult, however, to obtain in certain languages an expression which is sufficiently generic as to include all such domesticated animals. Sometimes, however, one can use a phrase such as ‘animals that people take care of’ or ‘animals that are herded’ or even ‘animals that are owned.’
