Hello friends from the steemit community, greetings especially @steemchurch again in this beautiful #CelestialChallenge initiative by @sirknight. Tuesday-AnimalKingdom.
The Ox
A bull after his castration is what we know as an ox, in ancient times was used for agricultural tasks, for fattening, sacrifices to the true God, and other false gods, has even been cult figure for several religious (the pagans had as symbol of agriculture an ox with the face of a man), something punished by God. The first to pay homage to this animal were the Egyptians, then years later this cult would also pass to the Greeks, the Romans used their skulls to decorate some of their temples.
Some leading historians, writers and authors, according to the story relate that it was the same if you tried against the life of an ox or the life of a man, you would receive the same punishment.
Nowadays the ox is still used as a draft animal in some parts of the world, as is the case of Spain where the ox is used as the main protagonist in the large coliseums called bull places or bullfighting, where they perform what they call a bullfighting show called ring or rounds, and the famous bullfights. In different Latin American countries especially where there are forestry work, also in Spain, the ox is driven as a pack animal and used in agriculture, since it is difficult to use motorized vehicles.
In the countries of Venezuela and Colombia, bullfighting is considered in these countries as a sport, this is born specifically in Venezuela where once again the ox is the main character, with time the practice of the bulls has spread to others countries such as Panama, Mexico, Cuba and Brazil.
From ancient times to the present we can see that the ox has been a figure in different subjects, being taken for good and bad things. even in one of the passages of the bible God makes reference to the ox for his work in agriculture:
Deuteronomy 25: 4 You shall not muzzle the ox when he threshes.
Taking into account the ox in the law of Moses. Scripture that in the new testament the apostle Paul takes to explain his right as apostle.
1Corinthians 9: 9 For in the law of Moses it is written: You shall not muzzle the ox that threshes. Does God take care of the oxen,
1Corinthians 9:10 or do you say it entirely for us? For it was written for us; for with hope the plowman should plow, and he who threshes, with hope of receiving the fruit.
