'Short' in the Bible

the ostrich,the short-eared owl, the gull,any kind of hawk,

They are not to have their hair cut off for the dead, or the hair on their chins cut short, or make cuts in their flesh.

A bullock and a sheep that hath a member too long or too short, that mayest thou offer as a voluntary offering; but as a vow it shall not be accepted.

And if there is only a short time, he will take account of it with his master, and in relation to the number of years he will give back the price of making him free.
