SIBI-P1 H5795-05

and a strong she-goat

Rootעזז (ʿ-z-z)
Core Meaningsstrength, might, firmness, sturdiness
Semantic Rangeshe-goat, female goat, kid; by extension goat’s hair (especially in plural forms); symbol of hardy livestock
Conceptual SignificanceThe 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 NotesCommon 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 RationaleThe 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”).
