Female lamb; specifically a young female sheep, often used in sacrificial, ritual, or pastoral contexts. In the Hebrew Bible, כִּבְשָׂה (kibsâh) designates a female lamb by sex (as opposed to כֶּבֶשׂ keves, a male lamb), and the term appears primarily in legal and cultic passages specifying the offering or value of animals for sacrifice, restitution, or inheritance. The semantic range also extends to designating a female lamb in general pastoral or narrative settings.

SIBI-P1 Translation H3535-02
female lambs
| Morphological Notes | Noun, common; feminine plural absolute form of כִּבְשָׂה. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun כִּבְשָׂה denotes a female lamb, distinguished by sex from the masculine כֶּבֶשׂ. The plural feminine absolute form כְּבָשֹׂת is therefore rendered "female lambs," preserving both gender and number. |
