Job 21:10
Their bulls breed without fail; their cows bear calves and do not miscarry.
BSB
ASV
Their bull gendereth, and faileth not; Their cow calveth, and casteth not her calf.
KJV
Their bull gendereth, and faileth not; their cow calveth, and casteth not her calf.
Ver. 10. Their ox conceiveth, and faileth not; their cow calveth, and loseth not her calf. It is the usage of common talk to call 'ox' masculine, and 'cow' feminine, but literary phraseology designates 'ox' of the common gender. Hence it is now said, Their ox conceiveth, and faileth not; their cow calveth, and loseth not her calf.
Their bull gendereth - עבר ibbar, passes over, i.e., on the cow, referring to the actions of the bull when coupling with the female. Their flocks multiply greatly, they bring forth in time, and none of them is barren.
