ʼeleph · Hebrew · Strong's H504 · 8 occurrences
The KJV renders 3 different Hebrew and Greek words as “family”
What it means
a family; also (from the sense of yoking or taming) an ox or cow
from H502 (אָלַף);
How the KJV renders it
family, kine, oxen
Where that flattens a distinction
The same English word is also used for these other originals, so the distinction between them disappears in translation.
“kine”
also renders bâqâr (H1241)
Where it appears
8 occurrences in the Hebrew text.
