Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, goats were common livestock and held significant economic and cultural value. They were used for their milk, meat, and hair, and were often part of sacrificial rituals. In the Jewish sacrificial system, goats were used as sin offerings and in the ritual of the Day of Atonement (Leviticus 16). The imagery of goats is also used in biblical literature to symbolize separation from God or judgment, as seen in the parable of the sheep and the goats (Matthew 25:31-46).
