Berean Strong's Lexicon athud: He-goat, leader Original Word: עַתּוּד Word Origin: Derived from the root עָתַד (athad), meaning "to prepare" or "to make ready." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "athud," the concept of a leader or prominent figure can be related to Greek terms like ἄρχων (archon, Strong's G758), meaning "ruler" or "leader." Usage: The term "athud" primarily refers to a male goat, often used in the context of sacrificial offerings in the Old Testament. It can also metaphorically denote leaders or prominent figures, drawing on the imagery of a goat leading a flock. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, goats were common livestock and held significant economic and religious value. Male goats, or he-goats, were often used in sacrificial rituals as prescribed in the Mosaic Law. The imagery of goats also appears in prophetic literature, symbolizing leaders or nations. The use of "athud" in sacrificial contexts underscores the importance of offerings in maintaining covenantal relationships with God. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originthe same as athid, q.v.
