The term צְפִיר, while specific to the Aramaic portions of the Hebrew Bible, shares thematic and symbolic connections with these Greek terms, which also appear in contexts involving sacrificial practices and symbolic representations in the New Testament. 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.
