Strong's Lexicon arnion: Lamb Original Word: ἀρνίον Word Origin: Diminutive form of ἀρήν (G704), meaning "lamb" Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H3532 (כֶּבֶשׂ, keves): Lamb - H7716 (שֶׂה, seh): Lamb, sheep Usage: The term "arnion" is used primarily in the New Testament to refer to a "lamb," often symbolizing innocence, sacrifice, and purity. In the context of Christian theology, it is most notably used to refer to Jesus Christ, emphasizing His role as the sacrificial Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. The diminutive form suggests a sense of endearment or gentleness. Cultural and Historical Background: In Jewish culture, lambs were central to sacrificial practices, particularly during Passover, when a lamb without blemish was sacrificed to commemorate the Israelites' deliverance from Egypt. This imagery is deeply embedded in the Jewish understanding of atonement and redemption. In the New Testament, Jesus is identified as the ultimate Passover Lamb, fulfilling the sacrificial system and providing eternal redemption for humanity.
