BisMillaahir-Rahmaanir-Rahiim
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful

70. They said: Pray for us unto thy
Lord that He make clear to us what (cow) she is. Lo! Cows are much alike to
us. And Lo! If Allah wills, we may be led aright.
71. (Moses) answered: Lo! He saith:
Verily she is a cow unyoked; she plougheth not the soil nor watereth the
tilth; whole and without mark.
They said: Now thou bringest the truth. So they sacrificed her, though they
has not the mind to do (it).

Commentary
With effect from
previous verses, this story has been running continuously that the Children of
Israel were given a simple order that they should sacrifice a cow, but they
began to controvert in it differently. Allah Almighty replied their every
question and described that the cow should neither be with calf, nor immature,
and its color should be yellow; bright, which should gladden to the beholders.
After knowing
everything, they asked again, “we have not understood till now, we have some
doubt in knowing about the cow”. Prophet Moses (peace be upon him) said!
“Verily she is a cow unyoked; she plougheth not the soil, nor watereth the
tilth; whole and without mark”.
Then they said,
“Yes! Now you have told us the right”. In short, after abundant arguments; they
sacrificed the cow. Even then, it was being felt from their behavior that they
had not mind to do so. As though, even then they obeyed the commandment of God
Almighty unavoidably.
