SIBI-P1 H6260-01
ready he-goats
| Root | עתד (ʿ-t-d) |
| Core Meanings | preparation, readiness, being made ready, appointment |
| Semantic Range | Literal: full-grown male goats, especially in sacrificial or pastoral contexts. Figurative: leaders, chiefs, or prominent men likened to strong, ready he-goats among the flock. |
| Conceptual Significance | In pastoral and sacrificial settings, "ready he-goats" signify animals fit and prepared for offering or breeding. Figuratively, the term evokes strength, prominence, and leadership, portraying chiefs as those set apart or made ready to lead among the people. |
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine plural noun in the absolute state (HNcmpa). The term occurs only in the plural in Biblical Hebrew and refers literally to male goats; no pronominal suffix is present. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun עַתּוּד derives from the root עתד, "to prepare" or "make ready," and denotes a full-grown, ready animal. The masculine plural absolute form (HNcmpa) is reflected in the rendering "he-goats," preserving both masculine gender and plurality, while "ready" retains the root sense of prepared maturity. |
