There seems to be both a desire to discuss the ox, and to keep the ox out of the china shop.
The ox scriptures are a type of Rosetta Stone. Both the ox and gifted people are put in the same area of discussion. Much like a parable where information is hidden in another context.
The ox appears under the Law:
Defining his work
Defining his treatment
Upon examination - clean
Other?
The church leader is compared to:
An ox
A plowman
Defined as examined for service
Other?
After this post I will pretty much go to scripture quotes with explanations.
Hopefully we do not wind up in side notes.
