יֹשֵׁ֥ב אֹ֖הֶל
was_sitting tent/house
A tent is a portable living place that has walls made of cloth or animal skins and is held up by poles. Tents are used by people who need to take their home with them as they move from place to place, often to find food and water for themselves and their livestock. If people in your language area are not familiar with tents, you could include some of the above information in a footnote. Alternate translation: “are tent dwellers” or “live in portable shelters”
וּמִקְנֶֽה
and=livestock/cattle
The term livestock includes all kinds of domestic animals, such as cows, sheep, goats, camels, and donkeys. See how you translated livestock in Gen 1:24-26; 2:20, 3:14. Alternate translation: “and raise animals for a living.”
4:20-22 Technological advancement masks increasing self-assertion and distance from God (see study note on 4:17–5:32).
