Strong's Lexicon tayish: Goat, specifically a male goat or he-goat Original Word: תַּיִשׁ Word Origin: From an unused root meaning to butt or push Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "tayish," the Greek word "τράγος" (tragos, Strong's G5131) is used in the New Testament to refer to a goat, particularly in the context of sacrificial animals (e.g., Hebrews 9:12-13). Usage: The Hebrew word "תַּיִשׁ" (tayish) refers to a male goat, often used in the context of livestock and sacrificial systems in the Old Testament. Male goats were significant in ancient Israelite culture for their role in agriculture, economy, and religious practices. They were considered valuable animals for their meat, milk, and hides. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, goats were a common part of pastoral life. They were kept for their milk, meat, and hair, and male goats, in particular, were often used in sacrificial offerings. The he-goat was a symbol of strength and virility, and its image was sometimes used metaphorically in biblical literature. Goats were also part of the Day of Atonement rituals, where one goat was sacrificed, and another was sent into the wilderness as the scapegoat (Leviticus 16).
