SIBI-P1 H8495-01
the butting he-goats
| Root | תיש (t-y-sh) |
| Core Meanings | butting, pushing, striking with the horns |
| Semantic Range | male goats, bucks, he-goats; figuratively powerful leaders or rulers likened to dominant male goats |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical imagery, he-goats can symbolize strength, dominance, and leadership, especially in prophetic or apocalyptic contexts where animal figures represent kingdoms or rulers. |
| Morphological Notes | Definite article הַ + masculine plural absolute noun (Ncmpa). The base noun תַּיִשׁ is masculine; plural form תְּיָשִׁים. |
| Rendering Rationale | The 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. |
