young goats, kids (female goats)
This feminine plural form appears only in Song of Songs 1:8, where the beloved is directed to pasture her young goats beside the shepherds' tents. The pastoral imagery evokes the countryside courtship setting common in ancient Near Eastern love poetry. The word specifically denotes young female goats (kids), distinguished from mature animals and from male kids. The possessive suffix ('your kids') emphasizes the beloved's role as shepherdess, a romantic idealization of rural life that pervades the Song.

1. sense 1 — Young female goats belonging to the beloved shepherdess in Song of Songs 1:8. The multilingual evidence is consistent: English 'young goats', Spanish 'cabritas' (little she-goats), French 'chevreaux' (kids), all emphasizing the youth and pastoral charm of these animals. The parallel with 'the flock' confirms the agricultural setting of this love poem. 1×
