Azazel, its meaning (Jenks, ed., The comprehensive commentary on the Holy Bible ... GENESIS—JUDGES., 1835)

Text: "And he shall take of the congregation of the children of Israel two kids of the goats for a sin offering, and one ram for a burnt offering. ... And he shall take the two goats, and present them before the Lord at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. And Aaron shall cast lots upon the two goats; one lot for the Lord, and the other lot for the scapegoat [Azazel]." Leviticus 16:5,7,8

Quote:

   (8.) Scape goat.] See diff. opin. in Bochart. Spencer, after the oldest opinions of the Hebrews and Christians, thinks azazel is the name of the devil, and so Rosenm. whom see. The Syr. has azzail the 'angel (strong one) who revolted.'

The open or incomplete pentagram (Goethe; Taylor, tr., Faust: a Tragedy, 1889)

Text: none Quote: MEPHISTOPHELES. Well, we'll consider: thou canst gather My views, when next I venture in. Might I, perhaps, depart at present? FAUST. Why thou shouldst ask, I don't perceive. Though our acquaintance is so recent, For further visits thou hast leave. The window's here, the door is yonder; A chimney, also, you behold. MEPHISTOPHELES. I must confess that forth I may not wander, My steps by one slight obstacle controlled,--- The wizard's-foot, that on your threshold made is. FAUST. The pentagram prohibits thee? Why, tell me now, thou Son of Hades, If that prevents, how cam'st thou in to me? Could such a spirit be so cheated? MEPHISTOPHELES. Inspect the thing: the drawing's not completed. The outer angle, you may see, Is open left---the lines don't fit it. Goethe, Johann Wolfgang von; Taylor, Bayard, tr., Faust: a Tragedy , auth. ed., London; New York: Ward, Lock, and Co., 1889, p. 40 . Online Source:   a
