Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(27) When a bullock, or a sheep, or a goat--The three sacrificial quadrupeds. (See Leviticus 22:19 and Leviticus 17:3-6.)Is brought forth.--From this expression it was enacted during the second Temple that the animal fit for a sacrifice had to be born naturally. One brought into the world by artificial aid was disqualified for the altar.It shall be seven days under the dam.--Under seven days the animal is extremely weak, and unfit for human food, and hence must not be offered as the food of God, as sacrifices are called. (See Leviticus 22:25.) For the same reason children could not be circumcised before the eighth day from their birth. (See Exodus 22:29.) Because the text here says that the newly born animal is to be with the dam seven days, it was enacted that if the mother died before the seven days (in which case it could not be with the dam seven days), it was for ever disqualified for a sacrifice.Parallel Commentaries ...Hebrew“Whenכִּ֣י (kî)ConjunctionStrong's 3588: A relative conjunctionan ox,שׁ֣וֹר (šō·wr)Noun - masculine singularStrong's 7794: A head of cattle (bullock, ox, etcetera)a sheep,כֶ֤שֶׂב (ḵe·śeḇ)Noun - masculine singularStrong's 3775: A young sheeporאוֹ־ (’ōw-)ConjunctionStrong's 176: Desire, ifa goatעֵז֙ (‘êz)Noun - feminine singularStrong's 5795: Female goatis born,יִוָּלֵ֔ד (yiw·wā·lêḏ)Verb - Nifal - Imperfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 3205: To bear young, to beget, medically, to act as midwife, to show lineageit must remainוְהָיָ֛ה (wə·hā·yāh)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Conjunctive perfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 1961: To fall out, come to pass, become, bewithתַּ֣חַת (ta·ḥaṯ)PrepositionStrong's 8478: The bottom, below, in lieu ofits motherאִמּ֑וֹ (’im·mōw)Noun - feminine singular construct | third person masculine singularStrong's 517: A mother, )for sevenשִׁבְעַ֥ת (šiḇ·‘aṯ)Number - masculine singular constructStrong's 7651: Seven, seven times, a week, an indefinite numberdays.יָמִ֖ים (yā·mîm)Noun - masculine pluralStrong's 3117: A dayFrom the eighthהַשְּׁמִינִי֙ (haš·šə·mî·nî)Article | Number - ordinal masculine singularStrong's 8066: Eighth (an ordinal number)dayוּמִיּ֤וֹם (ū·mî·yō·wm)Conjunctive waw, Preposition-m | Noun - masculine singular constructStrong's 3117: A dayon,וָהָ֔לְאָה (wā·hā·lə·’āh)Conjunctive waw | AdverbStrong's 1973: To the distance, far away, thus farit will be acceptableיֵרָצֶ֕ה (yê·rā·ṣeh)Verb - Nifal - Imperfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 7521: To be pleased with, to satisfy a, debtas an offeringלְקָרְבַּ֥ן (lə·qā·rə·ban)Preposition-l | Noun - masculine singular constructStrong's 7133: Something brought near the altar, a sacrificial presentto the LORDלַיהוָֽה׃ (Yah·weh)Preposition-l | Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 3068: LORD -- the proper name of the God of Israelmade by fire.אִשֶּׁ֖ה (’iš·šeh)Noun - masculine singularStrong's 801: A burnt-offering, a sacrificeJump to PreviousAcceptable Accepted Birth Born Bull Bullock Calf Dam Eighth Fire Forth Goat Mother Oblation Offering Ox Sacrifice Seven Sheep Thenceforth
