It happened the same night, that Yahweh said to him, Take your father's bull, even the second bull seven years old, and throw down the altar of Baal that your father has, and cut down the Asherah that is by it;
"Take thy father's bullock, even the second bullock seven years old"  (Judges 6:25).  The word "even" should be read "and," according to the marginal reference; and F. F. Bruce states that, "The evidence of the versions indicates that the word `second' here is actually `fat.'"[14]
