Cow (Heb. usually pârâh; also bâqâr, êglâh, etc.). The cows of Palestine are of the Arabian variety, that is to say, skinny and giving little milk and little meat. Cattle ranching developed in the region only in areas where there was good pasture all year round, such as the coastal plains. However, the highlands of Bashan were especially known for the fatness of their cattle (Eze 39:18). Unless they wanted to get fat (Gen 18:7; 1Ki 4:23; etc.), they were generally left to feed themselves in the field. red cow See Purification (I).

vet, The domestication of the cow is very old. In Egypt, Philistia and Palestine there were excellent pastures, where cattle were raised (Gen. 41:2; Deut. 7:13; 1 Sam. 6:7). Abraham and his descendants had cows among their herds (Gen. 12:16; 32:15). Milk was part of the diet (2 Samuel 17:29). The calves could be sacrificed on the occasion of the ratification of a pact (Gen. 15:9), for the ceremonial profession of innocence, when there was a homicide, and the culprit was unknown (Dt. 21:3), for the rite of thanksgiving sacrifices (Lev. 3:1). The ashes of the chestnut heifer were used for the preparation of purification water that removed contamination contracted by contact with a dead person (Num. 19:2; Heb. 9:13). In exceptional circumstances cows were offered as burnt offerings to Jehovah (1 Sam. 6:14).

Heifers were sometimes slaughtered. (Ge 15:9; 1Sa 6:14; 16:2) On the other hand, the ashes of a red heifer that was burned outside the camp were part of the “cleansing water.” (Nu 19:2, 6, 9) And in the case of an unsolved murder, the older men representing the city closest to the crime had to kill a heifer in an uncultivated torrential valley and then wash their hands on the carcass while attesting to their innocence in the crime. (Deut 21:1-9.)
The cow or heifer is used in illustrations many times in the scriptures. For example, the seven fat and seven lean cows in Pharaoh’s dream alluded to seven years of plenty followed by seven years of famine. (Ge 41:26, 27) Samson also compared his fiancée to a calf on her property that the 30 wedding partners had plowed up to solve his riddle. (Jg 14:11, 12, 18)
The women of Bashan, who were plunderers and loved luxury, were called the “cows of Bashan”. (Am 3:15; 4:1) On the other hand, Ephraim was compared to a “trained heifer that loved to thresh” (Ho 10:11), a comparison that becomes more significant when we consider that the animals that They threshed, they were not muzzled, so they could eat the cereal, and thus receive the direct and immediate benefits of their work. (De 25:4) Because Israel had grown fat as a result of God’s blessing, they “kicked out,” rebelled against Jehovah. (De 32: 12-15) Consequently, he is appropriately compared to a stubborn cow that does not want to bear the yoke. (Ho 4:16) Egypt is likened to a beautiful heifer that would be struck by disaster at the hands of the Babylonians. (Jer 46:20, 21, 26) When the Babylonians plundered Judah, †˜God’s inheritance†™, they were compared to a fiery heifer scratching in the tender grass. (Jer 50:11)
The peaceful conditions that result from the reign of the Messiah, Jesus Christ, are aptly represented in prophecy by the friendly relations between the cow, which is docile, and the bear, a ferocious animal. (Isa 11:7; see CALF; BULL.)
