Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • The corresponding Greek term in the New Testament is ἀρνίον (G5008), which also means "lamb." This term is notably used in the Book of Revelation to refer to Jesus Christ as the Lamb of God, highlighting themes of sacrifice, redemption, and victory. The imagery of the lamb in both the Hebrew and Greek scriptures serves to connect the Old Testament sacrificial system with the New Testament's portrayal of Christ's atoning work.

Usage: The term טָלֶה (taleh) is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to a lamb, often in contexts related to sacrificial offerings, pastoral imagery, and metaphors for innocence or purity.

Context: • The Hebrew word טָלֶה (taleh) appears in the Old Testament to denote a young sheep, commonly referred to as a lamb. This term is used in various contexts, including sacrificial rites, where lambs were often offered as a symbol of purity and atonement. The imagery of a lamb is also employed in pastoral settings, illustrating the care and guidance provided by shepherds. In prophetic literature, the lamb can symbolize innocence and vulnerability, often used metaphorically to describe the people of Israel or the Messiah.
• In the Berean Standard Bible, the term is translated as "lamb" in passages that emphasize the sacrificial system and the pastoral life of ancient Israel. For example, in Isaiah 11:6, the peaceful coexistence of a lamb with other animals is a vision of the Messianic age: "The wolf will live with the lamb, the leopard will lie down with the goat, the calf and young lion and fattened calf together; and a little child will lead them."
• The use of טָלֶה (taleh) underscores the importance of lambs in the religious and cultural life of Israel, serving as a key element in the sacrificial system and as a powerful symbol in prophetic and poetic texts.
