According to this principle, HaShem-יהו"ה told Israel that He gave Mount Seir to Esav as an inheritance. The reason is because Mount Seir is impure, in that the goat demons-Seirim-שעירים that they stray after, live there, as it says,251Isaiah 34:14 “and the goat demon-Seir-שעיר calls out to his fellow.” The Seir-שעיר is as the verse states,252Genesis 27:11 “My brother Esav is a hairy-Seir-שעיר man.” Opposite them is the goat that is sent into the desert (on Yom Kippur). Also opposite them is the verse,253Leviticus 17:7 “They shall no longer sacrifice their sacrifices to the goat-demons that they stray after etc.” Know that Esav took his portion from the lowly goats-Seirim-שעירים that are close to earth, as it states,254Genesis 36:20 “These are the children of Seir-שעיר, the Horite who dwell in the earth.” It therefore states about Esav,255Ibid 36:6 “Esav went to a (different) land than his brother Yaakov.” This is the matter about which it states about Esav,256Obadiah 1:2 “Behold, I have made you small amongst the nations, you are very despised.” The reason is because the other nations have high ministering angels, as scripture states,257Daniel 10:20 “Now I will return to battle with the ministering angel of Persia, and when I depart, behold, the ministering angel of Greece comes.” The same applies to all seventy nations. Similarly, Yishmael has twelve ministers to their nations. However, the portion and inheritance of Esav are the goat-demons, which are the lowest of creatures. Esav is therefore called Seir-שעיר, and it says,258Joshua 24:4 “I gave Esav the Mountain of goats-Se’irim-שעירים as an inheritance.”
