In biblical contexts, it is often used metaphorically to represent those who are separated from the righteous, as seen in the parable of the sheep and the goats. The term is used to illustrate spiritual truths, particularly in distinguishing between those who follow God's will and those who do not.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern cultures, goats were common livestock and held economic and religious significance. They were used for milk, meat, and sacrificial offerings. In Jewish tradition, goats were part of the sacrificial system, and the "scapegoat" ritual on the Day of Atonement involved a goat symbolically bearing the sins of the people. The distinction between sheep and goats in biblical parables reflects cultural understandings of these animals' behaviors and roles.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>Cognate: 2056</b> <i>ériphos</i> (a <i>masculine</i> noun) – a goat;
