and the prancing he-goat
| Root | צפר (ts-p-r) |
| Core Meanings | to spring, to leap, to skip, lively movement |
| Semantic Range | he-goat, buck, male goat used in ritual contexts, symbol of leadership or power (especially in apocalyptic imagery) |
| Conceptual Significance | The he-goat appears in sacrificial systems and symbolic visions (e.g., Daniel 8), often representing strength, leadership, or a kingdom. Its association with leaping vitality underscores themes of vigor and assertive power in both cultic and prophetic contexts. |
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וְ ("and") + definite article הַ ("the") + noun צָפִיר, masculine singular absolute (Ncmsa). The form is definite and singular, referring to one specific male goat. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun צָפִיר denotes a male goat and derives from a root conveying springing or leaping motion. Rendering it as "the prancing he-goat" preserves the masculine singular form (as marked by Ncmsa) and reflects the definite article with conjunction ("and the"), while also retaining the root idea of lively, bounding movement. |
