This Aramaic plural noun means 'goats,' specifically she-goats. It appears in Ezra's account of the dedication of the rebuilt temple, where the returnees offer sacrifices including bulls, rams, lambs, and goats as a sin offering for all Israel. The Aramaic form distinguishes it from the more common Hebrew word for goats, reflecting the multilingual context of the post-exilic period when Aramaic was widely used. The offering of goats as sin offerings follows the prescriptions of the Torah, where goats were regularly used for atonement. The number and variety of animals underscore the significance of the temple dedication.
