Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root שָׂעַר (sa'ar), which means "to shiver" or "to be rough."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G2055 (ἔριφος, eriphos): Refers to a young goat or kid, used in the New Testament in contexts similar to the Hebrew שָׂעִיר (sa'ir), such as in the parable of the sheep and the goats in Matthew 25:32-33. Usage: The word שָׂעִיר (sa'ir) appears in various contexts within the Hebrew Bible, often referring to a male goat used in sacrificial rituals or as a symbol of sin and atonement. It is also used in descriptions of wilderness creatures or mythological beings. Context: The Hebrew term שָׂעִיר (sa'ir) is frequently encountered in the Old Testament, particularly in the context of sacrificial practices. In Levitical law, the male goat played a significant role in the sin offerings and the Day of Atonement rituals, as seen in Leviticus 16:8-10, where one goat is chosen as a sin offering and another as the scapegoat. The term also appears in prophetic and poetic literature, where it may symbolize desolation or judgment, as in Isaiah 13:21 and 34:14, where it is translated as "satyr" or "wild goat," indicating creatures inhabiting desolate places. The imagery of the goat, with its rough and hairy appearance, serves as a powerful symbol in the Hebrew Bible, representing both the physical and spiritual aspects of impurity and atonement.
