BEAST

This word is used of flocks or herds of grazing animals (Exo 22:5; Num. 20:4, Num. 20: 8, 11; Psa 78:48); of beasts of burden (Gen. 45:17); of eatable beasts (Prov. 9:2); and of swift beasts or dromedaries (Isa. 60:6). In the New Testament it is used of a domestic animal as property (Rev. 18:13); as used for food (1-Cor 15:39), for service (Luke 10:34; Acts 23:24), and for sacrifice (Acts 7:42).

When used in contradistinction to man (Psa 36:6), it denotes a brute creature generally, and when in contradistinction to creeping things (Lev. 11:2;27:26), a four-footed animal.

The Mosaic law required that beasts of labour should have rest on the Sabbath (Exo 20:10;23:12), and in the Sabbatical year all cattle were allowed to roam about freely, and eat whatever grew in the fields (Exo 23:11; Lev. 25:7). No animal could be castrated (Lev. 22:24). Animals of different kinds were to be always kept separate (Lev. 19:19; Deut. 22:10). Oxen when used in threshing were not to be prevented from eating what was within their reach (Deut. 25:4; 1-Cor 9:9).

This word is used figuratively of an infuriated multitude (1-Cor 15:32; Acts 19:29; comp. Psa 22:12, Psa 22: 16; Eccl. 3:18; Isa. 11:6), and of wicked men (2-Pet 2:12). The four beasts of Daniel 7:3, Daniel 7: 17, 23 represent four kingdoms or kings.
