SIBI-P1 `H5695-01`

young bull-calves

Root	עגל (ʿ-g-l)
Core Meanings	roundness, circularity, rolling, youthful frisking movement
Semantic Range	male calf, young bull, steer, bullock; by extension, symbolic representations such as the golden calves
Conceptual Significance	Calves, especially young bulls, were associated with agricultural wealth, sacrificial practice, and at times idolatry (e.g., the golden calves). The image of the young bull conveys strength, vitality, and at times rebellious misdirected worship in Israel’s narrative.
Morphological Notes	Common masculine noun, plural absolute (HNcmpa) from עֵגֶל. The plural ending -ִים marks masculine plural; no suffixes are attached.
Rendering Rationale	The noun עֲגָלִים is the masculine plural absolute form of עֵגֶל, denoting male calves or young bulls. The rendering "young bull-calves" preserves the explicitly masculine and plural morphology (HNcmpa) while reflecting the root idea of roundness and youthful vigor associated with a young, lively animal.
