It is mentioned in various contexts throughout the Old and New Testaments, reflecting its importance in the agrarian society of ancient Israel.<br><br><b>Old Testament References</b><br><br>1. <b>Creation and Dominion</b>: In <a href="/genesis/1-24.htm">Genesis 1:24-25</a>, God creates livestock, including cows, as part of His creation, granting humanity dominion over them. This establishes the cow as a part of God's provision for mankind.<br><br>2. <b>Symbol of Abundance</b>: The cow is often associated with prosperity and abundance. In <a href="/bsb/genesis/41.htm">Genesis 41</a>, Pharaoh's dream of seven fat cows being devoured by seven lean cows is interpreted by Joseph as seven years of plenty followed by seven years of famine (<a href="/genesis/41-26.htm">Genesis 41:26-30</a>). This narrative underscores the cow's role as a symbol of agricultural abundance and economic stability.<br><br>3. <b>Sacrificial System</b>: Cows, specifically bulls and heifers, were integral to the sacrificial system in the Mosaic Law. <a href="/leviticus/1-3.htm">Leviticus 1:3-5</a> describes the offering of a bull as a burnt offering, signifying atonement and dedication to God. The red heifer, mentioned in <a href="/numbers/19-2.htm">Numbers 19:2</a>, was used in purification rituals, highlighting the cow's role in religious practices.<br><br>4. <b>Idolatry and Judgment</b>: The cow also appears in contexts of idolatry. In <a href="/bsb/exodus/32.htm">Exodus 32</a>, the Israelites create a golden calf while Moses is on Mount Sinai, leading to God's anger and judgment (<a href="/exodus/32-4.htm">Exodus 32:4-10</a>). This incident illustrates the dangers of idolatry and the cow's association with false worship.<br><br>5. <b>Provision and Blessing</b>: <a href="/deuteronomy/7-13.htm">Deuteronomy 7:13</a> speaks of God's blessings, including the increase of cattle, as a sign of His favor upon Israel. The cow, therefore, is a representation of God's provision and blessing upon His people.<br><br><b>New Testament References</b><br><br>While the New Testament does not frequently mention cows, the principles established in the Old Testament regarding livestock continue to hold significance. The New Testament emphasizes spiritual abundance and provision through Christ, transcending the physical symbols of the Old Testament.<br><br><b>Cultural and Theological Significance</b><br><br>In biblical times, cows were vital to the economy and daily life, providing milk, meat, and labor. Theologically, cows represent God's provision and the sustenance He offers to His people. They also serve as a reminder of the dangers of idolatry and the importance of worshiping God alone.<br><br>The cow's role in sacrificial practices points to the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ, who fulfilled the law and provided a way for humanity's redemption. The imagery of the cow in the Bible, therefore, is rich with meaning, reflecting both God's material blessings and His spiritual provision.<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Cow</span><p>[<a href="../b/bull.htm">BULL, BULLOCK</a>]<a name="eas" id="eas"></a><div class="vheading2">Easton's Bible Dictionary</div>A cow and her calf were not to be killed on the same day (<a href="/leviticus/22-28.htm">Leviticus 22:28</a>; <a href="/exodus/23-19.htm">Exodus 23:19</a>; <a href="/deuteronomy/22-6.htm">Deuteronomy 22:6</a>, 7).
