Strong's Lexicon athid or athud: He-goat, prepared, ready Original Word: עָתִיד Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to be ready or prepared. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "athid" or "athud," the concept of readiness and sacrificial animals can be related to Greek terms such as "ἑτοιμάζω" (hetoimazo - to prepare) and "τράγος" (tragos - goat). Usage: The Hebrew word "athid" or "athud" primarily refers to a male goat, often used in the context of sacrificial offerings. It can also imply readiness or preparedness, reflecting a state of being set apart for a specific purpose. In the sacrificial system of ancient Israel, the he-goat was a significant animal, symbolizing atonement and purification. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, goats were common livestock and held economic and religious significance. The he-goat, in particular, was often used in sacrificial rituals, such as the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur), where one goat was sacrificed, and another was sent into the wilderness as a scapegoat (Leviticus 16). This practice underscored themes of sin, atonement, and divine forgiveness. The readiness implied by "athid" also reflects the broader biblical theme of being prepared for God's purposes.
