Strong's Lexicon ez: Goat Original Word: עֵז Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to be strong Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2055 (eriphos) - a kid, young goat - G2056 (eriphion) - a little goat Usage: The Hebrew word "עֵז" (ez) primarily refers to a goat, a common domesticated animal in ancient Israel. Goats were valued for their milk, meat, hair, and skins. In the Bible, goats are often mentioned in the context of pastoral life, sacrificial offerings, and as symbols in various teachings and parables. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, goats were an integral part of agrarian life. They were among the clean animals that could be used for food and sacrifices. Goats were also significant in the Day of Atonement ritual, where one goat was sacrificed and another, the scapegoat, was sent into the wilderness bearing the sins of the people (Leviticus 16). The imagery of goats is also used in prophetic and wisdom literature to convey various moral and spiritual lessons.
