That which before was in a sum spoken, is now particularly expressed. Some think ye two bullocks are here mentioned, of which the one is called the second other by order of nativity, or as they stood in order at the rack & manger. And that second, is specified, to be vii. year old, in at which time being made fat, at the length to be offered to Baal: this bullock god would have offered unto himself for a burnt offering. And because there is no farther mention made of the first bullock, neither did god command what he would have done with it, therefore I think we must understand but one & the self same bullock which before is put absolutely, & then by exposition repeated that he might be by some certain tokens known from other bullocks, whereof peradventure his father had many, so that it was vii. years fatted, & stood in the second stall. And as touching the vii. years fating there is no cause why we should marvel at it,1 forasmuch as the ox called Apis or Serapis which was wont to be sacrificed, was fatted certain years before. And it is not hard to believe,2 but that this custom of the Egyptians was superstitiously kept among the idolatrous Hebrews, for that they were not only neighbours unto Egypt, but also they came out of it into the land of Palestine.
That which before was in a sūme spokē, is now particularly expressed. Some thinke ye two bullokes are here mēcioned, of which the one is called ye secōd other by order of natiuity, or as they stoode in order at the racke & mangor. And that second, is specified, to be vii. yere olde, in at which time being made fat, at ye lēgth to be offred to Baal: this bulloke god would haue offred vnto himselfe for aburnt offring. And bycause there is no farther mencion made of ye first bulloke, neither did god cōmaunde what he would haue done with it, therfore I thinke we must vnderstād but one & the self same bullok which before is put absolutly, & thē by exposition repeted yt he might be by some certaine tokēs knowen frō other bulloks, wherof peraduenture his father had many, so yt it was vii. yeares fatted, & stood in ye secōd stalle. And as touching ye vii. yeres fatting there is no cause why we should meruaile at it,1 forasmuch as ye oxe called Apis or Serapis which was wont to be sacrificed, was fatted certain yeares before. And it is not hard to beleue,
