Strong's Lexicon kebes: Lamb Original Word: כֶּבֶשׂ Word Origin: From an unused root meaning to dominate Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G286: amnos (ἀμνός) - used in the New Testament to refer to Jesus as the Lamb of God (e.g., John 1:29). - G721: arnion (ἀρνίον) - often used in Revelation to describe Christ as the Lamb. Usage: The Hebrew word "kebes" refers specifically to a young male sheep, or lamb. It is often used in the context of sacrificial offerings, particularly in the Levitical system where lambs were offered as sacrifices for atonement and other religious rituals. The term emphasizes the innocence and purity of the animal, which is a key aspect of its symbolic use in the Scriptures. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, lambs were central to both the economy and religious life. They were a primary source of wool, meat, and milk, and played a crucial role in the sacrificial system established by the Mosaic Law. The offering of a lamb was a common practice, symbolizing the atonement of sins and the restoration of the relationship between God and His people. The Passover lamb, in particular, held significant cultural and religious importance, commemorating the Israelites' deliverance from Egypt.
