a mustered herd

Rootעדר (ʿ-d-r)
Core Meaningsarrange, muster, gather in ranks, organize as a group
Semantic Rangeflock, herd, drove, organized group of animals (sheep, goats, cattle); by extension a gathered company
Conceptual SignificanceIn the biblical world, livestock represented wealth, provision, and covenant blessing. The term emphasizes not just the animals themselves but their being gathered and ordered under a shepherd’s care, reinforcing themes of divine shepherding, communal identity, and ordered provision.
Morphological NotesCommon masculine singular noun in the absolute state. Derived from the root עדר, conveying the idea of arranging or mustering into an ordered group.
Rendering RationaleThe noun עֵדֶר is a masculine singular absolute form (HNcmsa). Rendering it as "a mustered herd" preserves the singular masculine sense while reflecting the root idea of something arranged or gathered together in order, not merely a random collection of animals.
