the=humankind and,the,livestock the,cattle and,the,flock[s]

In this verse, the words person, animal, herd, and flock are singular in form, but they refer to all people, animals, herds, and flocks in Nineveh. If it would be helpful in your language, you could say this plainly. Alternate translation: [All people and animals, herds and flocks]

This refers to two groups of animals that people care for. A herd is made up of large livestock (such as oxen or cattle) and a flock is made up of small livestock (such as sheep or goats). If your readers would not be familiar with these terms, you could use the name of something similar in your area or you could use a more general term. Alternate translation: [cattle and sheep]
