# Can you use ropes to hold the wild ox in the furrows? "You cannot control the wild ox with a rope in order to plow furrows in your fields." # ropes Farmers would tie ropes to animals' heads or necks in order to lead them. # furrows These are long channels made in the dirt while plowing. See how you translated this in Job 31:38. # Will he harrow the valleys as he follows after you? "He will never harrow the valleys as he follows after you." # harrow to smooth and break up the soil
