Samson characterized scheming with his wife as “plowing with my heifer” (Judges 14:18 ). One of David's wives (2 Samuel 3:5 ) was named Eglah (heifer). The heifer was used as a symbol for the splendor of Egypt (Jeremiah 46:20 ) and of Babylon (Jeremiah 50:11 ). Hosea 10:11 pictures obedient Ephraim as a trained heifer. In contrast, disobedient Israel is a stubborn cow.
