Satyr — So is the Hebrew sã'îr rendered Isaiah 13:21, and 34:14, by R.V. (D.V.: "hairy one"). The same word in Leviticus 17:7, and 2 Chronicles 11:15, is translated "devils" in all English Bibles. Sã'îr usually signifies the he-goat. In the latter passages this sense is clearly inapplicable; it seems hardly applicable in the former. The writers of Leviticus, and 2 Chronicles possibly intended some representation of the same description as the goat-headed figures of the Egyptian Pantheon. Concerning the sã'îr mentioned in Isaias, no satisfactory explanation has as yet been given.
Verses:
- Isaiah 13:21
