Semantic Rangeyoung ram, male lamb, sheep suitable for sacrifice, flock animal
Conceptual SignificanceThe כֶּבֶשׂ frequently appears in sacrificial contexts, especially in daily and festival offerings, symbolizing consecration, atonement, and covenantal devotion within Israel’s worship system.
Morphological NotesConjunction וְ (“and”) + preposition לַ (“to/for the,” with assimilated definite article) + noun כְּבָשִׂים, common masculine plural absolute.
