Usage
The Greek word "eriphos" refers to a young goat or kid. In biblical contexts, it is often used metaphorically to represent those who are separated from the righteous, as seen in the parable of the sheep and the goats. The term is used to illustrate spiritual truths, particularly in distinguishing between those who follow God's will and those who do not.
