Berean Strong's Lexicon attud: He-goat, leader Original Word: עַתּוּד Word Origin: Derived from the root עָתַד (atad), meaning "to prepare" or "to make ready." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "attud," the concept of a leader or prominent figure can be related to Greek terms such as ἄρχων (archon, Strong's G758), meaning "ruler" or "leader." Usage: The Hebrew word "attud" primarily refers to a male goat, often used in the context of sacrificial offerings or as a metaphor for leaders and prominent figures. In the sacrificial system of ancient Israel, goats were among the animals prescribed for offerings, symbolizing atonement and dedication to God. The term is also used metaphorically to describe leaders or those who are prominent, drawing on the imagery of a goat leading a flock. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, goats were valuable livestock, providing milk, meat, and hides. They were also significant in religious practices, including the sacrificial system outlined in the Torah. The metaphorical use of "attud" to describe leaders reflects the social and economic importance of goats, as well as their role in guiding and protecting the flock. This imagery would have been readily understood by an agrarian society familiar with pastoral life.
