Fatling, fattened animal — cattle or sheep specially fattened for feasting or sacrifice
A masculine noun for a fatling — an animal (typically a calf, ox, or sheep) that has been specially fattened on rich pasture or grain for slaughter, whether as a feast offering or a sacrificial victim. The word appears in contexts of lavish royal banquets, as when Adonijah slaughtered 'oxen and fatlings' vying for the throne (1 Kgs 1:9, 19, 25), and in prophetic critique of empty ritual sacrifice (Isa 1:11; Amos 5:22). Isaiah's peaceable kingdom envisions 'the calf, the young lion, and the fatling together' (Isa 11:6), and Ezekiel's apocalyptic feast includes 'fatlings of Bashan' (Ezek 39:18).
Senses
1. fatling, fattened animal — A fatling or fattened animal, raised on rich feed for slaughter as food or sacrifice. Used of sacrificial animals whose fat (חֵלֶב) God rejects when offered without justice (Isa 1:11; Amos 5:22), of royal feast provisions in the Adonijah and David narratives (1 Kgs 1:9, 19, 25; 2 Sam 6:13), and in eschatological imagery — the peaceable kingdom (Isa 11:6) and the great feast of Ezekiel 39:18. Spanish 'animales cebados' (fattened animals) and French 'bétail' (livestock) both reflect the agricultural fattening practice, while the German renderings preserve the Hebrew form, indicating how consistently the term denotes premium sacrificial or feast-worthy livestock. 8×
