And corresponding to the ox, is ‘the braying donkey’. If they were worthy, then ‘ox’ would receive the offering, but if not, then it would be the braying donkey. And because of this it is stated: (Deut. 22:10) You will not plough, with the ox and the donkey together, – ‘together’ means: do not cause the donkey to eat the offering of the ox.
The third offering is of the evening-service, – the sacrifice of birds, of which it is stated: (Lev. 5:7)... two turtledoves or two doves... etc. For if they were worthy, then the ‘eagle of Jacob’ would descend to receive them, but if not, then an eagle of the side of impurity – a hawk – would descend towards the dove, and according to the offering, so it would increase or decrease.
