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.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>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).<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>(Aramaic) corresponding to <a href="/hebrew/5795.htm">ez</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>female goat<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>goats (1).<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">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> [<font class="hebrew2">עֵז</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [feminine]</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>(she-)goat</b></font>; — plural <font class="hebrew2">עִזִּין</font> <a href="/interlinear/ezra/6-17.htm">Ezra 6:17</a>. <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>goat <p>(Aramaic) corresponding to <a href="/hebrew/5795.htm">ez</a> -- goat. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/5795.htm">ez</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>עִזִּ֜ין עזין ‘iz·zîn ‘izzîn izZin<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/ezra/6-17.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Ezra 6:17</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/ezra/6.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">מְאָ֑ה וּצְפִירֵ֨י <b> עִזִּ֜ין </b> [לְחַטָּיָא כ]</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/ezra/6.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> male <span class="itali">goats,</span> corresponding to the number<br><a href="/kjvs/ezra/6.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> he <span class="itali">goats,</span> according to the number<br><a href="/interlinear/ezra/6-17.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> hundred male <span class="itali">goats</span> sin for<p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_5796.htm">1 Occurrence</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_5796.htm">Strong's Hebrew 5796<br>1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/izzin_5796.htm">‘iz·zîn — 1 Occ.</a><br></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="mdd"><div align="center"><div class="bot2"><table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td><div align="center"> <script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script> <script id="b817b7107f1d4a7997da1b3c33457e03"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=cb0edd8b-b416-47eb-8c6d-3cc96561f7e8&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-2'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-0' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-3'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-1' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div align="center" id='div-gpt-ad-1531425649696-0'> </div><br /><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:200px;height:200px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3753401421161123" data-ad-slot="3592799687"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script><br /><br /> </div> <div id="left"><a href="/hebrew/5795.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="5795"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="5795" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/5797.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="5797"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="5797" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhchap.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
