LAMB
(1.) Heb. kebes, a male lamb from the first to the third year. Offered daily at the morning and the evening sacrifice (Exo 29:38), on the Sabbath day (Num. 28:9), at the feast of the New Moon (28:11), of Trumpets (29:2), of Tabernacles (13-40), of Pentecost (Lev. 23:18), and of the Passover (Exo 12:5), and on many other occasions (1-Chr 29:21; 2-Chr 29:21; Lev. 9:3;14:10). (2.) Heb. taleh, a young sucking lamb (1-Sam 7:9; Isa. 65:25). In the symbolical language of Scripture the lamb is the type of meekness and innocence (Isa. 11:6;65:25; Luke 10:3; John 21:15). The lamb was a symbol of Christ (Gen. 4:4; Exo 12:3;29:38; Isa. 16:1;53:7; John 1:36; Rev. 13:8). Christ is called the Lamb of God (John 1:29, John 1: 36), as the great sacrifice of which the former sacrifices were only types (Num. 6:12; Lev. 14:12; Isa. 53:7; 1-Cor 5:7).
