Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the root גָּדָה (gadah), which is not used in the Hebrew Bible but is related to the concept of cutting or dividing, possibly alluding to the separation of a young goat from its mother.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G2055: ἐρίφιον (eriphion) • A diminutive form of ἔριφος (eriphos), meaning a young goat or kid. This term is used in the New Testament in contexts similar to its Hebrew counterpart, often in parables or teachings of Jesus.
• G2056: ἔριφος (eriphos) • A young goat or kid. This term appears in the New Testament, notably in the Parable of the Sheep and the Goats in Matthew 25:32-33, where it is used to distinguish between the righteous and the unrighteous.

The use of גְּדִי (gĕdî) in the Hebrew Bible reflects the agrarian lifestyle of ancient Israel and the importance of livestock in their economy, religious practices, and daily life.

Usage: The term גְּדִי (gĕdî) is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to a young goat, often in the context of sacrificial offerings, pastoral life, or dietary laws. It appears in various passages where young goats are mentioned as part of flocks or in specific instructions regarding offerings.

Context: • The term גְּדִי (gĕdî) is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote a young goat, commonly referred to as a "kid" in English. Young goats were significant in ancient Israelite culture for their economic value, providing milk, meat, and hides. They were also integral to sacrificial practices and religious rituals.
• In the context of sacrificial offerings, young goats were often specified as acceptable offerings to the LORD. For example, in Leviticus 4:23, a male goat is mentioned as a sin offering.
• The dietary laws in the Torah include specific instructions regarding the preparation and consumption of young goats. A well-known commandment is found in Exodus 23:19, "You must not cook a young goat in its mother’s milk," which is repeated in Exodus 34:26 and Deuteronomy 14:21. This commandment has been interpreted in various ways, including as a prohibition against mixing meat and dairy.
• Young goats are also mentioned in narratives and parables, illustrating their role in daily life and their symbolic significance. For instance, in Genesis 27:9, Rebekah instructs Jacob to bring her two young goats so she can prepare a meal for Isaac, highlighting the domestic use of young goats in food preparation.
• The imagery of young goats is used metaphorically in some biblical texts, symbolizing innocence or vulnerability, as well as the pastoral care of a shepherd for his flock.
