Biblical truth standing on its spiritual head to get our eternal attention.

Genesis 15:9 – NASB vs. HCSB

Genesis 15:9 NASB  So He said to him, “Bring Me a three year old heifer, and a three year old female goat, and a three year old ram, and a turtledove, and a young pigeon.”

Genesis 15:9 HCSB  He said to him, “Bring me a three-year-old cow, a three-year-old female goat, a three-year-old ram, a turtledove, and a young pigeon.”

All heifers are cows, but not all cows are heifers. Considering the Hebrew word here is, a female cow, the NASB and ESV are more accurate. This is an example of where the translators dumbed down the language. Everyone knows what a cow is, but does everyone know that a heifer is a female cow?
