The meaning of Ram (2) in the Bible
(From International Standard Bible Encyclopedia)ram: (1) The ordinary word is 'ayil, which is remarkably near to 'ayyal, "deer" (compare Latin caper, capra, "goat," and capreolus, "wild goat" or "roe-buck"; also Greek dorkas, "roe-buck" or "gazelle"). (2) dekhar, literally, "male" (Ezra 6:9, Ezra 6:17; Ezra 7:17). (3) kar, "battering ram" (Ezekiel 4:2; Ezekiel 21:22); elsewhere "lamb" (Deuteronomy 32:14, etc.). (4) 'attudh, properly "he-goat" ("ram," Genesis 31:10, Genesis 31:12 the King James Version).
