In Lev. 17: 7 the word " devil" is the translation of the Hebrew _sair_, meaning a " goat" or " satyr" ( Isa. 13: 21; 34: 14), alluding to the wood- daemons, the objects of idolatrous worship among the heathen. In Deut. 32: 17 and Ps. 106: 37 it is the translation of Hebrew _shed_, meaning lord, and idol, regarded by the Jews as a " demon," as the word is rendered in the Revised Version. In the narratives of the Gospels regarding the " casting out of devils" a different Greek word ( daimon) is used. In the time of our Lord there were frequent cases of demoniacal possession ( Matt. 12: 25- 30; Mark 5: 1- 20; Luke 4: 35; 10: 18, etc.). |
