Various Hebrew words are used in reference to the cow and the ox as 'cattle.'

Exodus 9:3-21 , etc. Another word, tson , signifies small cattle, that is, sheep and goats. Genesis 30:39-43; Genesis 31:8-43; Ecclesiastes 2:7 . seh has the same meaning, Genesis 30:32; Ezekiel 34:17-22 : in Isaiah 7:25 it is translated 'lesser cattle,' and in Isaiah 43:23 'small cattle.'
