Usage: The term צְפִיר is used in the context of describing a male goat, often in relation to sacrificial practices or symbolic representations in biblical texts. Context: The Aramaic term צְפִיר (Tsephir) appears in the context of the Hebrew Bible, particularly in the book of Daniel. It is used to describe a male goat, which is a significant symbol in biblical literature. In Daniel 8:5, the he-goat represents the kingdom of Greece, with its notable horn symbolizing a prominent king. The imagery of the he-goat is part of a larger apocalyptic vision that conveys the rise and fall of empires, illustrating the sovereignty of God over human history. The he-goat's aggressive and swift movements in the vision underscore the rapid expansion and power of the Greek empire under Alexander the Great. This symbolic use of the he-goat highlights themes of divine prophecy and the unfolding of God's plan through historical events.
