Strong's Lexicon seh: Lamb, sheep, goat Original Word: שֶׂה Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G286 (amnos): Refers to a lamb, used in the New Testament to describe Jesus as the Lamb of God (e.g., John 1:29). - G721 (arnion): A diminutive form of lamb, often used in Revelation to describe Christ. Usage: The Hebrew word "seh" refers to a young sheep or goat, often used in the context of sacrificial offerings or as a metaphor for innocence and purity. It is a term that encompasses both lambs and young goats, highlighting their role in pastoral life and religious practices in ancient Israel. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, sheep and goats were central to the agrarian lifestyle, providing wool, milk, and meat. They were also integral to the sacrificial system established in the Mosaic Law. Lambs, in particular, were used in various offerings, including the Passover lamb, which commemorated the Israelites' deliverance from Egypt. The imagery of the lamb is deeply embedded in Jewish and Christian symbolism, representing purity, sacrifice, and redemption.
