Domesticated livestock collectively owned or acquired, especially flocks and herds of sheep, goats, cattle, and sometimes camels; more generally, property acquired through purchase, primarily referring to mobile animals rather than immovable property. In specific legal and narrative contexts, denotes wealth or property made up chiefly of domesticated animals rather than land or goods. The semantic range encompasses both the concrete reference to animals and, by extension, the possessions or wealth represented by them.

their acquired livestock
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular noun in construct state (מִקְנֵי) with 3rd person masculine plural pronominal suffix; collective singular referring to owned livestock. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun מִקְנֶה denotes "that which is acquired," especially domesticated animals as movable property. The singular construct form with a 3rd person masculine plural suffix yields "their acquired livestock," preserving both the acquisition-root sense and the possessive morphology. |
