Where it appears

Isaiah · 1

  1. Isaiah 40:11 טְלָאִ֔ים lambs

    He tends His flock like a shepherd; He gathers the lambs in His arms and carries them close to His heart. He gently leads the nursing ewes.

    Here: Young lambs, the smallest and weakest members of the flock, the ones who cannot keep up on a long march. The word is rare in Hebrew (compare 1 Sam 7:9) and more common in Aramaic.
