(אִיל , dyil; κριός ). As this animal, fattened, was a favorite article of food (Genesis 31:38; Ezekiel 39:18), it was considered, when offered as sacrifice, of higher value than sheep and lambs (Genesis 15:9, Numbers 15:5-6; Numbers 23:1 sq.; Numbers 28:11 sq., Numbers 28:28 sq.; Micah 6:7), and the legal ritual gave exact directions on the sacrifice of them. The rams were sometimes burnt-offerings (Leviticus 8:18; Leviticus 8:21; Leviticus 9:2; Leviticus 16:3; Numbers 7:15; Psalm 46:15; Isaiah 1:11; Ezekiel 45:23, etc.), sometimes thank-offerings (Leviticus 9:4; Leviticus 9:18; Numbers 6:14; Numbers 6:17; Numbers 7:17; Numbers 28:11, etc.), sometimes trespass-offerings (Leviticus 5:15; Leviticus 18:25; Leviticus 6:6; comp. Leviticus 19:21; Numbers 5:8; Ezra 10:19, etc.). The ram, too, appears not only in public and private offerings in general, but especially in the purifying sacrifices of the Nazarite (Numbers 6:14) and the sacrifices of Priestly Consecration.
