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.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>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.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>fem. of <a href="/hebrew/8163b.htm">sair</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>female goat<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>goat (1), goat* (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> I.
