Strong's Lexicon miqneh: Livestock, cattle, possessions Original Word: מִקְנֶה Word Origin: Derived from the root קָנָה (qanah), meaning "to acquire" or "to purchase." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "miqneh," related concepts of wealth and possessions can be found in Greek terms such as κτῆμα (ktēma, G2933) meaning "possession" or "property." Usage: The term "miqneh" primarily refers to livestock or cattle, which were considered valuable possessions in ancient times. It encompasses various types of domesticated animals, including sheep, goats, and cattle, which were integral to the agrarian lifestyle of the Israelites. The word is often used to denote wealth and prosperity, as livestock were a primary measure of wealth in the ancient Near East. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, livestock were not only a source of food and clothing but also a symbol of wealth and social status. The patriarchs, such as Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, were often described in terms of their large herds and flocks, which signified God's blessing and favor. Livestock were also used in religious sacrifices, underscoring their importance in both daily life and spiritual practices.
