Strong's Lexicon arén: Lamb Original Word: ἀρήν Word Origin: Derived from a primary word Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H7716 (שֶׂה, seh) - Lamb - H3532 (כֶּבֶשׂ, keves) - Lamb Usage: The Greek word "ἀρήν" (arén) is used to denote a young sheep, specifically a lamb. In the New Testament, it is often used metaphorically to represent innocence, purity, and sacrifice. The term is closely associated with Jesus Christ, who is referred to as the "Lamb of God" in Christian theology, symbolizing His role as the sacrificial offering for the sins of humanity. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Jewish culture, lambs were integral to sacrificial practices, particularly in the Passover celebration, where a lamb without blemish was sacrificed as a remembrance of God's deliverance of the Israelites from Egypt. This cultural backdrop provides a rich symbolism for the New Testament writers, who draw parallels between the sacrificial lambs of the Old Testament and Jesus Christ's atoning sacrifice.
