Strong's Lexicon kisbah: Ewe lamb Original Word: כִּשְׂבָּה Word Origin: Derived from the root כֶּשֶׂב (késev), meaning "lamb." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent in the Septuagint for "kisbah" is often ἀμνός (amnos), which also means "lamb." This term is used in the New Testament, notably in John 1:29 (BSB), where John the Baptist refers to Jesus as "the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world." Usage: The term "kisbah" refers specifically to a female lamb or ewe lamb. In the Hebrew Bible, it is used to denote a young female sheep, often in contexts related to sacrificial offerings or pastoral life. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, sheep were a vital part of agrarian life, providing wool, milk, and meat. Ewe lambs, in particular, were valuable for breeding and maintaining the flock. The sacrificial system outlined in the Torah often required lambs, including ewe lambs, as offerings to God, symbolizing purity and innocence. The pastoral imagery of sheep and shepherds is prevalent throughout the Bible, reflecting the agrarian society of ancient Israel and the spiritual metaphor of God as the Shepherd of His people.
