SIBI-P1 H3775-03
the young lamb
| Root | כבש (k-b-ś) |
| Core Meanings | to subdue, bring into subjection, tread down; by extension a young sheep (lamb) |
| Semantic Range | young sheep, lamb (especially one suitable for sacrifice or as part of a flock) |
| Conceptual Significance | The lamb holds central significance in Israel’s sacrificial system, particularly in daily offerings and Passover. As an unblemished young animal, it embodies innocence, submission, and covenantal atonement within Israel’s worship life. |
| Morphological Notes | Noun, common masculine singular absolute with prefixed definite article (הַ־). The form כֶּשֶׂב is a variant of כֶּבֶשׂ, likely by consonantal transposition. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is a masculine singular noun with the definite article ("the"). "Young lamb" reflects the lexical sense of כֶּשֶׂב (a young sheep), while "the" preserves the definiteness indicated by the prefixed article; the singular masculine form is maintained in English. |
