It is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote a young female sheep, often in contexts related to sacrificial offerings, pastoral life, and parables.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, sheep were a vital part of agrarian life, providing wool, milk, and meat. Ewe lambs, in particular, were valuable for their ability to reproduce and sustain the flock. The sacrificial system outlined in the Torah often required lambs, including ewe lambs, as offerings to God, symbolizing purity and innocence. The pastoral lifestyle of the Israelites is frequently reflected in biblical narratives and parables, where sheep and shepherds are common motifs.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive
