The semantic range encompasses both the concrete reference to animals and, by extension, the possessions or wealth represented by them.

acquired livestock
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular common noun in construct state; mem-prefixed result noun from the root קנה. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun מִקְנֶה is a mem-formation from קנה, denoting that which is acquired. It refers specifically to domesticated animals as acquired property, so "acquired livestock" preserves both the root sense and the concrete focus on animal wealth; the singular construct form reflects a collective noun in relational state. |
