Introduction
Seems like a lot of overlap between these two terms. In the story of the Passover lamb (Exo 12 & 13), both words are used. It’s also confusing that these two words have been translated as cattle.

śeh: A common noun meaning sheep, lamb. It refers to a young lamb of sheep or a young kid of goats, a part of a larger unit of animals, a flock (ṣō’n) (Gen 22:7). The animals were of great value for wealth in general, food, sacrifices, milk. They were a favorite subject in figures of speech indicating lost or straying persons, as well as sheep themselves (Psa 119:176). They were used figuratively of Israel (Eze 34:17). The Suffering Servant was slaughtered like a sheep (Isa 53:7). The lamb was used in the Passover ritual (Exo 12:3-5).
