What is a Cow?
        COW
        , Isa 7:21. In this remark Cormorant. (After Tristram.) Crane. (After Tristram.) able prophecy the event foretold is that the face of the land of Judah should be so completely changed, and the inhabitants so greatly reduced in number, that, with only a single young cow and two sheep, a family should be supplied with an abundance of milk and butter, and vineyards which before commanded a high rent should be overgrown with briers and thorns. By the Levitical law, Lev 22:28, a cow and her calf were not to be killed on the same day. A similar precept is found in Ex 23:19, and another in Deut 22:6-7. Whether they were designed to prevent inhumanity or referred to some heathen custom is uncertain. The cow is esteemed holy by the Hindoos.
