PREY (בַּז, H1020, טֶ֫רֶף, H3272, שָׁלָל, H8965). The OT contains the term “prey” but the NT does not include the term. בַּז, H1020, may be tr. “prey,” “spoil,” or “plunder” (Num 14:3, 31; Deut 1:39; Isa 10:6, etc.).

טֶ֫רֶף, H3272, is tr. “prey of wild beasts,” or “torn thing” (Gen 49:9; Num 23:24; Job 4:11, etc.).

שָׁלָל, H8965, is used with the concept “booty” or “spoil” (Judg 5:30; 8:24, 25; Isa 10:2, etc.).
