Oxen » Heifer illustrative » (taught, &c) of israel's fondness for ease in preference to obedience
Ephraim is a trained heifer that loves to tread out the grain,
But I will come over her fair neck with a heavy yoke [for hard field work].
I will harness Ephraim;
Judah will plow and Jacob will harrow and rake for himself.
