The silence of the (spotted) lambs: ovine otherness in the Hebrew Bible
Biblical scholarship has largely read the rare ovine term טלא 'spotted lamb' (1 Sam 7,9; Is 40,11; 65,25) as another ovine designation of a 'young lamb', in spite of its direct linguistic correlation with the verbal root טלא 'to be spotted, multicolored'. In addition to...
