SIBI-P1 H5799-01
for the Goat-of-Departure
| Morphological Notes | Proper noun masculine singular (Np) with prefixed preposition לַ ("to/for"). Occurs in Leviticus 16 in the Day of Atonement ritual formula distinguishing the two goats. |
| Rendering Rationale | The term is understood as a compound of עֵז (goat) and אָזַל (to go away), thus "Goat-of-Departure," preserving the root imagery of a goat that departs or carries away. The prefixed לַ ("for/to") is reflected in "for," and as a proper noun (masculine singular), the rendering maintains its singular, specific identity rather than generalizing it. |
