| II Chronicles 11:15 | And he made to himself priests for the high places, and for the devils, and for the calves which he had made. | Devils. Hebrew, "goats." (Calmet) --- Septuagint express this by two names, "for the idols, and for the fools." (Haydock) --- The Mendesians of Egypt, solemnly worshipped the goat; and Pan was represented nearly in the same form. Yet it is probable that the Hebrews style the idols by this name out of derision, 3 Kings 15:2. (Calmet) |
