Calf
        The calf was held in high esteem by the Jews as food. 1Sa 28:24; Lu 15:23 The molten calf prepared by Aaron for the people to worship, Ex 32:4 was probably a wooden figure laminated with gold, a process which is known to have existed in Egypt. [AARON]
        Cal'neh, or Cal'no (fortress of Anu), appears in Ge 10:10 among the cities of Nimrod. Probably the site is the modern Niffer. In the eighth century B.C. Caneh was taken by one of the Assyrian kings, and never recovered its prosperity. Isa 10:9; Am 6:2
