Exegesis
The conjunction o {אוֹ | ʾō} ‘or’ coordinates exclusive alternatives, and the construct phrases ba-kevasim {בַּכְּבָשִׂ֖ם | ba-kə-vā-śim} and ba-izzim {בָעִזִּֽים | ba-ʿiz-zim} specify the lamb’s origin from sheep versus goats. In translation, the formal version preserves “among” to mirror the Hebrew locative nuance, while the dynamic version uses “from” for idiomatic clarity without altering the categorical distinctions.
In context — Numbers 15:11
Thus it shall be done for each bull or for each ram or for the lamb among the lambs or among the goats.
