Lamb:

(1.) Heb. kebes, a male lamb from the first to the third year. Offered daily at the morning and the evening sacrifice (Exd 29:38-42), 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 23:18-20), and of the Passover (Exd 12:5), and on many other occasions (1Ch 29:21; 2Ch 29:21; Lev 9:3; 14:10-25).

(2.) Heb. taleh, a young sucking lamb (1Sa 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; Luk 10:3; Jhn 21:15).

The lamb was a symbol of Christ (Gen 4:4; Exd 12:3; 29:38; Isa 16:1; 53:7; Jhn 1:36; Rev 13:8).

Christ is called the Lamb of God (Jhn 1:29,36), as the great sacrifice of which the former sacrifices were only types (Num 6:12; Lev 14:12-17; Isa 53:7; 1Cr 5:7).
