ram

A male sheep, frequently mentioned as a sacrificial offering in OT priestly legislation (Lev 5:15; Lev 8:18-29; Num 7:15). God provided a ram as a substitute for the sacrifice of Isaac (Gen 22:13). Rams’ skins were used for the covering of the tabernacle (Exod 36:19), and a ram’s horn was used to call Israel to battle and to worship. (Ps 114:4) describes the earth’s agitation at God’s appearing as mountains skipping like rams. The two-horned ram of Daniel’s vision (Dan 8) represented the kings of Media and Persia.
