Brown-Driver-Briggs II. [שְׂעִירָה] proper name, of a location, probably in southeast Ephraim (= goat, Thes); — with ה locative הַשְּׂעִי֫רָתָה Judges 3:26; Σε(Τ)ειρωθα, ᵐ5L Σηρωθα. Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root שֵׂעִיר (Seir), which means "hairy" or "shaggy."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Seirah, as it is a specific Hebrew proper noun without a direct Greek equivalent in the New Testament. Usage: The term "Seirah" is used in the context of a geographical location. It appears in the narrative of the Book of Judges. Context: Seirah is mentioned in the Book of Judges as a place associated with the judge Ehud. In Judges 3:26, after Ehud assassinated Eglon, the king of Moab, he escaped to Seirah. The passage reads: "Ehud, however, had escaped while the servants delayed. He passed by the idols and escaped to Seirah." This location is significant as it marks the place of Ehud's successful evasion after his daring act of deliverance for the Israelites. The exact location of Seirah is not definitively known, but it is believed to be in the mountainous region of Ephraim, given the context of Ehud's escape route. The name itself, derived from the root meaning "hairy" or "shaggy," may suggest a wooded or rugged terrain, characteristic of the hill country of Ephraim.
