There are only two mentions of female goats in scripture,
Leviticus 4:28 Or if his sin, which he hath sinned, come to his knowledge: then he shall bring his offering, a kid of the goats, a female without blemish, for his sin which he hath sinned.
And
Leviticus 5:6 And he shall bring his trespass offering unto the LORD for his sin which he hath sinned, a female from the flock, a lamb or a kid of the goats, for a sin offering; and the priest shall make an atonement for him concerning his sin.
We are not told the "why" of this, but it is to atone for sin/trespass committed.
Note that female priests exist already in some Christian denominations with apostolic succession, e.g. Anglican/Episcopal. Some break-away Roman Catholic groups also have female priests. Most Protestant denominations allow female pastors/ministers, but most do not have apostolic succession and thus do not have priests.In terms of Roman Catholicism, the arguments made in favor of female priests are:- Jesus himself made no distinction between men and women of his followers; Mary Magdalene has been reviled as a "prostitute" since the Middle Ages, but a modern non-misogynistic view of the Gospels do not regard her as revilable or reviled--indeed, Jesus favored her.- There is no clear scriptural basis for excluding women from the priesthood.- In the early Christian church until ca. 400 AD, female priests and congregation leaders were common.- With the shortage of male priests becoming acute, opening the Catholic priesthood to women would make it possible for the Church to more of God's work more efficiently and minister to more people.- Women already occupy leadership positions in all churches, and women who become nuns have already taken on 99% of the commitments asked of male priests.
Jesus was circumcised on the 8th day as a Jewish male baby. The sacrifices of His Mother Mary were for bearing a male baby.
A:When the Bible was being translated into English, serfdom had largely replaced slavery, since it had become the rule that Christians should not be slaves, and serfs were in any case easier to manage. So, when translating the original word for slaves, the word servant was used instead. So, a maid servant was actually a femail slave. The Old Testament has rules covering the conduct of slave owners in respect of Jewish slaves, and if a master wished to have sex with his female slave, she would have certain rights. The tenth commandment requires believers not to covet another person's female slaves.

No there are no female priests in the Roman Catholic Church. A priest represents Jesus on the Alter and a woman cannot do that. Religious women can become nuns but not priests.
