 * unto devils.

 * devils.
   {Seirim,} properly signifies hairy or hairy ones; and hence
   is used not only for he-goats, but also for some fabulous
   beings or sylvan gods, to whom was ascribed the form of
   goats.  Maimonides says that the Zabian idolaters worshipped
   demons under the form of goats; and that this custom being
   spread among other nations, gave occasion to this precept.
   He-goats, however, are probably intended here, which were
   objects of divine honour among the Egyptians under the name
   of honour among the Egyptians under the name of Mendes.
   Herodotus says that all goats were worshipped in Egypt; but
   particularly he-goats.  From these seem to have sprung Pan,
   Silenus, and the innumerable herd of those imaginary beings,
   fauns, satyrs, dryads, etc., all woodland gods, and held in
   veneration by the Greeks and Romans.

 * gone a whoring.
   Though this phrase is equivalent, in Scripture, to that of
   committing idolatry, yet it is to be taken sometimes in a
   literal sense.  Baalpeor and Ashtaroth were worshipped with
   obscene rite; and public prostitution formed a great part of
   the worship among the Egyptians, Moabites, Canaanites,
   Greeks, and Romans.
