- G2055: ἐρίφιον (eriphion) - a diminutive form of eriphos, also meaning young goat

Usage: In the Hebrew Bible, "kid" refers to a young goat. It is often used in contexts related to sacrificial offerings, dietary laws, and pastoral life. The term signifies innocence and purity, as young goats were commonly used in sacrificial rituals to atone for sins and as part of peace offerings.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, goats were a significant part of pastoral life and economy. They provided milk, meat, and hides. The young goat, or "kid," was particularly valued for its tender meat and was often used in religious sacrifices. The practice of offering a kid as a sacrifice is rooted in the covenantal relationship between God and Israel, where sacrificial offerings were a means of maintaining purity and holiness before God.
