SIBI-P1 H8495-01

the butting he-goats

Rootתיש (t-y-sh)
Core Meaningsbutting, pushing, striking with the horns
Semantic Rangemale goats, bucks, he-goats; figuratively powerful leaders or rulers likened to dominant male goats
Conceptual SignificanceIn biblical imagery, he-goats can symbolize strength, dominance, and leadership, especially in prophetic or apocalyptic contexts where animal figures represent kingdoms or rulers.
Morphological NotesDefinite article הַ + masculine plural absolute noun (Ncmpa). The base noun תַּיִשׁ is masculine; plural form תְּיָשִׁים.
Rendering RationaleThe noun תַּיִשׁ derives from a root associated with butting or pushing, describing the characteristic action of a male goat. The form הַתְּיָשִׁים is masculine plural with the definite article, so "the butting he-goats" preserves both the root sense and the masculine plural definiteness indicated in the morphology.
