To what has already been said on the tails of eastern sheep , we may add the testimony of Ludolf , who states that they are so very large , some of them weighing from twelve to fourteen pounds , "that the owners are obliged to tie a little cart behind them , whereupon they put the tail of the sheep , as well for the convenience of carriage , and to ease the poor creatures , as to preserve the wool from dirt , and the tail from being torn among the bushes and stones." The same is testified by Dr. Russell , who says , "In some other places where they feed in the fields , the shepherds are obliged to fix a piece of thin board to the under part of the tail , to prevent its being torn by bushes , thistles , etc. , as it is not covered underneath with thick wool , like the upper part; and some have small wheels to facilitate the dragging of the board after them."

That is , neither the blood which is contained in the larger veins and arteries , nor the fat or suet which is within the animal , which exists in a separate or unmixed state , as the omentum or caul , the fat of the mesentery , or fatty part of the substance which connects the convolutions of the alimentary canal or small intestines , the fat of the kidneys , and whatever else of the internal fat was easily separable , together with the whole of the tail already described; for the blood which assumes the form of gravy , and the fat which is intermixed with the other flesh , might be eaten. This law not only related to the sacrifices , but to all the cattle which the Israelites slaughtered for food
