Definition of beast __ 2) a contemptible person.
Cattle __ the actual Hebrew word means beast or animal.
Humans _ humans even today are considered as animals, descendants from a form of primate - in the mammal category.
The devil and 1/3 of the Angels had already been cast down from heaven to Earth and God had no respect for him. He was *as* a serpent and as such crawling on his belly means he is lower than low - as low as he can become. Using the terms beast and cattle simply means he is *as* an animal - a long way for him to fall from grace, from the status he had as cherubim that covereth - wise and access to all that God had created.

Why is it that people think that ancient Hebrews should have been written perfectly by today's standards _ when a tiny fraction of the Hebrew people were just beginning to learn the craft of writing and reading. _____ That was thousands of years ago, *only a few hundred years ago most people in the world still didn't know how to read and write.* _____ it wasn't until institutions such as schools began to be mandatory for people, that the art of reading and writing became learned.
The ancient Hebrews didn't have a college education like people of today who feel their writing and wording should be done accurately correct.
