Explanatory Note

Yet they were fooled by a simple trick, which they should have easily recognized for what it was. “Why! Did they not see that it could not give them any response, and that it could neither harm nor benefit them?” (Verse 89) It was not even a living calf that could hear them and respond in the way that cows and calves respond. It could not aspire to the status of an ordinary animal. It could not bring them the least harm or benefit, not even fighting with its horns or drawing water from a stream
