SIBI-P1 H3532-06
young butting-ram
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine singular noun (absolute and construct forms attested). No pronominal suffix in the cited forms. Refers specifically to a young male sheep used frequently in sacrificial contexts. |
| Rendering Rationale | כֶּבֶשׂ is a masculine singular noun referring to a young male sheep, likely one mature enough to butt. By rendering it "young butting-ram," the translation preserves the masculine singular form and reflects the underlying root idea of dominance or subduing (כבש), expressed in the animal’s budding strength and butting behavior. |
