ewe lamb
Female lamb; specifically a young female sheep, often used in sacrificial, ritual, or pastoral contexts. In the Hebrew Bible, כִּבְשָׂה (kibsâh) designates a female lamb by sex (as opposed to כֶּבֶשׂ keves, a male lamb), and the term appears primarily in legal and cultic passages specifying the offering or value of animals for sacrifice, restitution, or inheritance. The semantic range also extends to designating a female lamb in general pastoral or narrative settings.
