sheeps need to be pastored. so they refer to the christians.
lamb refers to the sacrifice, as per lyric "Jesus .. lamb of God .. worthy is the lamb" (i rem singing it at NCC)
where are the verses for "ram"? very pagan leh .. like Aries the Ram. -

for sheep- Psalm 119:176 (Whole Chapter)
I have strayed like a lost sheep. Seek your servant, for I have not forgotten your commands.
Psalm 100:3 (Whole Chapter)
Know that the LORD is God. It is he who made us, and we are his [ Or and not we ourselves ] ; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.
for lamb-
2 Chronicles 35:1 (Whole Chapter)
[ Josiah Celebrates the Passover ] Josiah celebrated the Passover to the LORD in Jerusalem, and the Passover lamb was slaughtered on the fourteenth day of the first month.
i think u r right on the lamb and sheep thing
let's see rams
in most of the verses rams were mostly used as sacrifices
so rams is more like lamb in that sense?
i seriously have no idea -
hmmm...lamb usually use when it comes to matters of sacrifice
sheep....usually refer to house of Israel or believers...
RAMS....used to refer to offerings (Lev 5:15; Ezra 10:19...like wat u said mebbe same as lamb).....(not the one used in pc har

the dictionary meanings above shed some light ?
lamb - sacrifice to the Lord mentioned in the Old Testament under the Mosaic System. lambs are under one year of age which did not produce any off springs. Also described as a young domestic sheep offered as food. hrmm...."Lamb of God".
sheep - "domesticated" or are above one year of age and produced off springs... which mean people in general ? requiring the guidance of the Shepherd. More "sheeps" are mentioned in the New Testament than Old right ? In the Old, more "lambs" are mentioned.
hrmm....

Mutton comes from Lamb or Sheep or Ram or all?
Anyway I like lamb chops, Sup Kambing and Mutton Satay
