Proverbs 14:4

Context

14:4 Where there are no oxen, the feeding trough is clean,

but an abundant harvest is produced by strong oxen. 1 

1 tn Heb “the strength of oxen.” The genitive שׁוֹר (shor, “oxen”) functions as an attributed genitive: “strong oxen.” Strong oxen are indispensable for a good harvest, and for oxen to be strong they must be well-fed. The farmer has to balance grain consumption with the work oxen do.
