Strong's Lexicon seirah: Hairy, Shaggy Original Word: שְׂעִירָה Word Origin: Derived from the root שֵׂעִיר (se'ir), meaning "hairy" or "shaggy." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent for "hairy" or "shaggy" is not directly listed in Strong's Greek Dictionary, but related concepts can be found in words like θρίξ (thrix, Strong's G2359), meaning "hair." Usage: The term "seirah" is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe something that is hairy or shaggy. It is often associated with goats or other animals that have a rough, hairy appearance. The word can also be used metaphorically to describe a rough or rugged terrain. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, goats were common livestock and were often associated with sacrificial practices. The term "seirah" would have been familiar to the Israelites as it described the physical characteristics of these animals. The rugged, hairy appearance of goats made them a symbol of strength and resilience in the harsh landscapes of the Near East.
