SIBI-P1 H5795-05
and a strong she-goat
| Root | עזז (ʿ-z-z) |
| Core Meanings | strength, might, firmness, sturdiness |
| Semantic Range | she-goat, female goat, kid; by extension goat’s hair (especially in plural forms); symbol of hardy livestock |
| Conceptual Significance | The she-goat was a common domesticated animal in ancient Israel, valued for milk, hair, and sacrificial use. Its association with strength reflects both the root meaning and the animal’s resilience, and goats feature in sacrificial rites and symbolic imagery throughout the Hebrew Bible. |
| Morphological Notes | Common noun, feminine singular absolute (Ncfsa) with prefixed conjunction וָ (“and”). Though feminine in singular, it can take masculine forms in the plural. No article or suffix present. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun עֵז derives from the root עזז, conveying strength or sturdiness, reflecting the hardy nature of the animal. The form is a feminine singular absolute noun (Ncfsa) with a prefixed conjunction וָ, so the rendering preserves both the feminine singular sense (“she-goat”) and the conjunction (“and”). |
