Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to dominate.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Greek term in the New Testament is πρόβατον (G4263), which also refers to a sheep. This term is used in similar contexts, often metaphorically, to describe followers of Christ as sheep under the care of the Good Shepherd. In John 10:11, Jesus declares, "I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep," drawing a direct connection between the sacrificial imagery of the Old Testament and His own mission. Usage: The term כֶּשֶׂב is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to a young sheep, often in the context of sacrificial offerings or pastoral imagery. Context: The Hebrew word כֶּשֶׂב (keśeb) appears in the Old Testament to denote a young sheep, typically a ram or lamb. This term is significant in the context of ancient Israelite culture and religious practices, where sheep were central to both the economy and religious rituals. The sacrificial system outlined in the Torah frequently required the offering of lambs, symbolizing purity and innocence. For instance, in Leviticus 1:10, the text specifies that "If his offering is a burnt offering from the flock, from the sheep or the goats, he is to present a male without blemish." The use of כֶּשֶׂב in such contexts underscores the importance of offering the best and most unblemished animals to God.
