The imagery of the he-goat is significant in the ancient Near Eastern context, where goats were valued for their strength and utility. In the sacrificial system of Israel, male goats were often used as sin offerings, symbolizing the readiness and purity required for atonement. The metaphorical use of עָתוּד to describe leaders underscores the qualities of strength, preparedness, and leadership expected of those in positions of authority.
