arnion denotes a lamb, chiefly the throne-centered figure who is slain, worshiped, followed, and victorious in Revelation.

The term most often names the singular Lamb in Revelation: a figure described as slain, standing amid the throne, opening seals, receiving praise, shepherding, conquering, and sharing divine settings. Rarer uses show plural lambs to be fed and a lamb as the point of comparison for an animal’s horns.

1. The singular Lamb in Revelation’s visions · dominant

   The singular noun identifies the Lamb as an acting or honored figure: in Revelation 5:6 the APB renders a Lamb standing in the midst of the throne “as though slain,” while in Revelation 6:1 it opens a seal. The same figure receives praise in Revelation 5:13, shepherds and guides in Revelation 7:17, conquers opponents in Revelation 17:14, and shares the throne’s setting in Revelation 22:1.

2. Lambs to be fed · rare

   In John 21:15, the accusative plural form occurs in Jesus’ instruction to Simon Peter; the APB renders the command, “Feed my lambs.” This is the only supplied plural occurrence and presents lambs as those receiving care.

3. A lamb used for comparison · rare

   In Revelation 13:11, the dative singular form occurs in the description of another wild animal’s two horns; the APB renders them as “like a lamb.” The verse uses a lamb as the comparison point rather than as the central figure acting in the scene.

   Revelation 13:11

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the Revelation verses, the APB usually presents the term as “the Lamb,” often capitalized, while Revelation 13:11 renders the comparison “like a lamb.” John 21:15 has “my lambs”; these renderings reflect whole-verse translation.
