zebu Calf Calves were commonly made use of in sacrifices ,
and are therefore frequently mentioned in Scripture .
The "
fatted calf "
was regarded as the choicest of animal food ;
it was frequently also offered as a special sacrifice (
1 Sam .
28 :
24 ;
Amos 6 :
4 ;
Luke 15 :
23 ).
The words used in Jer .
34 :
18 ,
19 , "
cut the calf in twain ,"
allude to the custom of dividing a sacrifice into two parts ,
between which the parties ratifying a covenant passed (
Gen .
15 :
9 ,
10 ,
17 ,
18 ).
The sacrifice of the lips ,
i .
e .,
priase ,
is called "
the calves of our lips " (
Hos .
14 :
2 ,
R .
V ., "
as bullocks the offering of our lips ."
Comp .
Heb .
13 :
15 ;
Ps .
116 :
7 ;
Jer .
33 :
11 ).
The golden calf which Aaron made (
Ex .
32 :
4 )
was probably a copy of the god Moloch rather than of the god Apis ,
the sacred ox or calf of Egypt .
The Jews showed all through their history a tendency toward the Babylonian and Canaanitish idolatry rather than toward that of Egypt .
Ages after this ,
Jeroboam ,
king of Israel ,
set up two idol calves ,
one at Dan ,
and the other at Bethel ,
that he might thus prevent the ten tribes from resorting to Jerusalem for worship (
1 Kings 12 :
28 ).
These calves continued to be a snare to the people till the time of their captivity .
The calf at Dan was carried away in the reign of Pekah by Tiglath -
pileser ,
and that at Bethel ten years later ,
in the reign of Hoshea ,
by Shalmaneser (
2 Kings 15 :
29 ;
17 :
33 ).
This sin of Jeroboam is almost always mentioned along with his name (
2 Kings 15 :
28 etc .).
