Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible (1898)
KINE, Gen 41:2, is used by the sacred writers as the plural of cow. The word is used figuratively by the prophet, concerning the Israelites to describe the feebleness, idleness, and luxury which characterized them. They were like the fatlings of Bashan, feeding carelessly and securely in rich pastures only to prepare them for the slaughter. Eze 39:18. See Cow, Herd.
