Patrikin – Kinship through The Father

Where no oxen are, the crib is clean: but much increase is by the strength of the ox. – Proverbs 14:4

I am often amused how the Bible has a sanitized way of conveying simple truth.

To an agricultural society, very familiar with the chore of mucking out the barn, it communicates that to make money or conduct business one must put up with a lot of unpleasant things we wish we didn’t have to deal with — no use complaining, it’s just part of the job.
