Gesenius' Hebrew and Chaldee Definition

כַּר plur. כָּרִים m.

(1) a lamb, especially one that is fattened and well fed (Deuteronomy 32:14; Isaiah 34:6; Ezekiel 39:18); feeding in fertile pastures, so called from its leaping, or skipping (root כָּרַר), Amos 6:4; 1 Samuel 15:9; 2 Kings 3:4; Psalms 37:20; Jeremiah 51:40 Vulg. agnus; Syr. ܡܦܰܛܡܐܳ fattened; Ch. פַּטִּים fat. Collect. Isaiah 16:1, שִׁלְחוּ־כַר מוֹשֵׁל־אֶרֶץ “send ye the lambs of the ruler of the land,” i.e. those which were owed to the king, the lord of the land. Figuratively used

(a) a pasture of lambs, a meadow; Isaiah 30:23. Ps. 65:14, לָֽבְשׁוּ כָרִים הַצּאֹן “the pastures are clothed (adorned) with flocks.”

(b) a battering ram, Gr. κρίος, a warlike engine for breaking through the walls of besieged cities; in Arab. also called كَبْشُ Ezekiel 4:2, 21:27. (The Ionians also adopted this word in the signification of lamb and pasture; Hesych. Κὰρ … πρόβατον. Κάρα … Ἴωνες τὰ πρόβατα. Κάρνος … βόσκημα, πρόβατον. Κάρος … Βόσκημα. Compare Bochart, Hieroz. i. 429.)

(2) כַּר הָגָּמָל Genesis 31:34, a camel’s saddle, with a kind of canopy over it, bound to the back of a camel, in which women were accustomed to ride; so called from its leaping, bounding [jolting] motion, or like currus à currendo (comp. אַפִּרְיוֹן), Arab. كُورُ and مَكْوَرُ, also قَرُّ id. See Jahn’s Bibl. Archæologie, t. i. vol. i. p. 287; Hartmann’s Hebräerin, t. ii. p. 397.
