<p> | <p> '''''Seirim''''' . Leviticus 17:7, "they shall no more offer ... sacrifices unto devils" ( '''''Seirim''''' ) i.e. to the evil spirits of the desert, literally, "shaggy goats," hence applied to an object of pagan worship or a demon dwelling in the desert ( 2 Chronicles 11:15; Isaiah 13:21; Isaiah 34:14). At Mendes in Lower Egypt the goat was worshipped with foul rites. [[Israel]] possibly once shared in them. Compare Joshua 24:14-15; Ezekiel 23:8-9; Ezekiel 23:21. </p> | ||
