King James | Le 22:28 | And whether it be cow or ewe, ye shall not kill it and her young both in one day. |
Word | Easton Dictionary - Definition |
COW | A cow and her calf were not to be killed on the same day (Lev. 22:28; Ex. 23:19; Deut. 22:6, 7). The reason for this enactment is not given. A state of great poverty is described in the words of Isa. 7:21-25, where, instead of possessing great resources, a man shall depend for the subsistence of himself and his family on what a single cow and two sheep could yield. |
