### Description
### Описание
A collective noun is a singular noun that refers to a group of something. Examples: a **family, clan,** or **tribe** is a group of people who are related to each other; a **flock** is a group of birds or sheep; a **fleet** is a group of ships; and an **army** is a group of soldiers.
Есть существительное, которые в единственном числе означают множество. Например: **семья** или **племя** - это группа людей, состоящих в родственных связях; **стая** - это группа птиц или рыб; **стадо** - группа неоторых животных; **армия** или **войско** - группа воинов или солдатов.
Many collective nouns are used exclusively as a singular replacement for a group as in the examples above. Frequently in the Bible the name of an ancestor is used, through a process of metonymy, as a collective noun referencing the group of his descendants. In the Bible, sometimes the singular noun will take a singular verb form, other times it will take a plural verb form. This may depend on how the author is thinking about the group, or whether the action is being done as a group or as individuals.
