It is often associated with Jesus Christ, symbolizing His role as the sacrificial Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. The use of "amnos" emphasizes innocence, purity, and the sacrificial nature of Christ's mission.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In Jewish culture, lambs were central to sacrificial practices, particularly during Passover. The Passover lamb was a key element in the commemoration of Israel's deliverance from Egypt, symbolizing redemption and divine protection. In the New Testament, Jesus is identified as the ultimate Passover Lamb, fulfilling the sacrificial system and providing eternal redemption for humanity.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>286</b> <i>amnós</i> – a sacrificial lamb (used for <i>sacrifice</i>); a young sheep <i>without blemish</i> (especially a <i>one-year</i> old lamb).</p><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/discovery.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>a prim. word<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a lamb<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Lamb (2), lamb (2).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 286: ἀμνός</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἀμνός</span></span>, <span class="greek2">(οῦ</span>, <span class="greek2">ὁ</span> (from <span class="abbreviation">Sophocles</span> and <span class="abbreviation">Aristophanes</span> down), <span class="accented">a lamb</span>: <a href="/interlinear/acts/8-32.htm">Acts 8:32</a>; <a href="/interlinear/1_peter/1-19.htm">1 Peter 1:19</a>; <span class="greek2">τοῦ</span> <span class="greek2">θεοῦ</span>, consecrated to God, <a href="/interlinear/john/1-29.htm">John 1:29, 36</a>.
