Calf (Hebrew: עֵגֶל ‘êḡel - Strongs: H5695; feminine עֶגְלָה ‘eḡlāh - Strongs: H5697) One of the most popular representations of the deity among the Canaanites. The calf is, in biblical poetry, a figure for vexing and pitiless foes, Psalm 22:12-13, 68:30]. The fatted calf was a necessary feature, so to say, of a feast dinner.
