The most lofty of creation is man. The likeness of a man hast Thou fixed in Thy throne: they have the face of a man, and the hands of a man are under their wings, they run as a man, they toil as a man, they kneel down and prostrate themselves in song as a man doth, and the fear of Thee, O King, is upon them.
The most lofty of cattle is the ox. The likeness of an ox hast Thou fixed in Thy throne: they run as an ox, they toil as an ox, they stand in the places as an ox, and the fear of Thee, O Holy One, is upon them.
