Strong's Lexicon gediyyah: Kid, young goat Original Word: גְּדִיָּה Word Origin: Derived from גְּדִי (gedi), meaning "kid" or "young goat." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent for a young goat is ἔριφος (eriphos), Strong's Greek #2056, which appears in the New Testament in contexts such as the Parable of the Sheep and the Goats (Matthew 25:32). Usage: The term "gediyyah" refers to a young goat or kid. In the Hebrew Bible, it is used to describe the offspring of goats, often in the context of sacrificial offerings or pastoral life. The word emphasizes the youth and innocence of the animal, which is significant in various sacrificial and ceremonial contexts. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, goats were a common part of pastoral life and held significant economic and religious value. Young goats, or kids, were often used in sacrificial offerings as prescribed in the Mosaic Law. The use of a "gediyyah" in sacrifices symbolized purity and innocence, which were essential qualities for offerings made to God. Goats also provided milk, meat, and hides, making them valuable assets in agrarian societies.
