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).

Lesson
With effect from previous
verses, this story has been running 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.
