SIBI-P1 H3532-05
young butting-rams
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine plural noun in the absolute state (HNcmpa), from the singular כֶּבֶשׂ (kebes). Refers specifically to male sheep, typically in their first year. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun כְּבָשִׂים is a masculine plural absolute form, so the rendering reflects plural masculine animals (“rams”). The root כבשׂ conveys the idea of subduing or dominating; a כֶּבֶשׂ is traditionally understood as a young ram at the age when it begins to butt and assert dominance. "Young butting-rams" preserves both the zoological sense and the root’s underlying notion of forceful subduing. |
