Strong's Lexicon ez: Goat Original Word: עֵז Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to be strong Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2056 (eriphos) - referring to a young goat or kid - G2055 (eriphion) - a diminutive form of eriphos, also meaning a young goat Usage: The Hebrew word "עֵז" (ez) primarily refers to a goat, a common domesticated animal in ancient Israel. Goats were significant in the agrarian society of the Israelites, providing milk, meat, and hides. They were also used in sacrificial offerings as prescribed in the Mosaic Law. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, goats were an essential part of daily life and economy. They were often kept in herds and were known for their resilience and ability to thrive in arid environments. Goats were used in various religious rituals, including the Day of Atonement, where a "scapegoat" was sent into the wilderness carrying the sins of the people (Leviticus 16:10). The imagery of goats is also used metaphorically in the Bible, often contrasting with sheep to symbolize separation between the righteous and the wicked (Matthew 25:32-33).
