Usage: The word עָתוּד appears in various contexts within the Hebrew Bible, often symbolizing strength, leadership, or readiness. It is used both literally, to describe male goats, and metaphorically, to denote leaders or those who are prepared for a specific role or task. Context: The term עָתוּד is found in several passages throughout the Old Testament, where it is used to describe male goats, particularly in the context of sacrificial offerings. For example, in Isaiah 14:9, the word is used metaphorically to describe leaders or prominent figures who are brought low. The imagery of the he-goat is significant in the ancient Near Eastern context, where goats were valued for their strength and utility. In the sacrificial system of Israel, male goats were often used as sin offerings, symbolizing the readiness and purity required for atonement. The metaphorical use of עָתוּד to describe leaders underscores the qualities of strength, preparedness, and leadership expected of those in positions of authority.
