Usage: The term "kebesh" refers specifically to a young male sheep, or lamb. In the Hebrew Bible, it is often used in the context of sacrificial offerings, symbolizing innocence and purity. The lamb is a central figure in the sacrificial system established in the Mosaic Law, representing atonement and reconciliation with God. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the sacrificial system was a vital part of religious life, serving as a means for the people to atone for their sins and maintain a covenant relationship with God.

The Passover lamb, in particular, held significant cultural and religious importance, commemorating the Israelites' deliverance from Egypt and God's protection during the final plague.
