A ewe-lamb; a female sheep, used in sacrificial contexts
This feminine noun appears only in Leviticus 5:6, specifying acceptable animals for a sin offering. A ewe-lamb was a young female sheep, valued for breeding and wool production. The Priestly legislation allowed substitution of sheep or goats, making provision for different economic capacities among worshipers. The term's singularity in Leviticus emphasizes the accessibility of atonement—even one modest animal sufficed.
Sentidos
1. sense 1 — A female sheep offered in sacrifice for purification from sin. Leviticus 5 addresses unintentional transgressions requiring atonement, with the ewe-lamb as the standard offering. Spanish 'cordera' (female lamb) and French 'brebis' (ewe) both specify the female gender, while English 'ewe-lamb' is maximally specific. The sacrificial system's acceptance of this common domestic animal demonstrated that reconciliation with God was not limited to the wealthy who could afford bulls. 1×
