These Greek terms provide a broader understanding of leadership and preparation, concepts that are central to the metaphorical use of עַתּוּד in the Hebrew Bible.

Usage: The word עַתּוּד appears in the Hebrew Bible to describe both literal male goats and metaphorical leaders or prominent figures among people. It is used in contexts that emphasize strength, leadership, and preparation.

Context: The Hebrew term עַתּוּד (ʿattûd) is a masculine noun that appears in several contexts within the Old Testament. It is used to describe male goats, which were often associated with sacrificial practices and wealth, as goats were valuable livestock in ancient Israelite society. The term is also employed metaphorically to describe leaders or prominent figures among the people, drawing on the natural leadership role of a he-goat within a herd.

In the Berean Standard Bible, the term is used in passages such as Isaiah 14:9, where it metaphorically refers to leaders or rulers: "Sheol beneath is eager to meet you upon your arrival. It stirs the spirits of the dead to greet you—all the leaders of the earth. It raises all the kings of the nations from their thrones."

The metaphorical use of עַתּוּד to denote leaders is significant in understanding the cultural and societal structures of ancient Israel, where leaders were often seen as shepherds guiding their people, much like a he-goat leading a flock.
