The word does not occur in AV. In RV it is substituted for 'devil' in the margin of many passages, and the American Committee was in favour of its adoption in the text. Twice it stands in the text (De 32:17; Ps 106:37), representing a root found in both Assyrian and Arabic, and denoting a species of genli or demi-gods, who were conceived as invested with power for good or evil, and to whom even human sacrifices were offered. So in Bar 4:7; and in the same sense probably 'devils' is used in 1Co 10:20 and Re 9:20. For the conception of demon as an influence or spirit, exclusively evil, see Devil; and for the phenomena, see Possession and Exorcism.
