ServantOfTheGoddess · 61-69, M
@meJess That is a definite possibility.
Adstar · 56-60, M
@meJess There is no Lilith in the Bible.. Thats a pagan story..
ServantOfTheGoddess · 61-69, M
@AdstarShe is mentioned in Isaiah 34:14. The story that she was the first woman is not pagan; it's a Jewish story and the story is grounded in close reading of the Bible.

@ServantOfTheGoddess Not in my Bible..

Isaiah 34:14
"The wild beasts of the desert shall also meet with the wild beasts of the island, and the satyr shall cry to his fellow; the screech owl also shall rest there, and find for herself a place of rest."

Might be in Jewish traditions.. The ones they got when they mixed with and where lead astray by pagan traditions.. A lot of that happened in the OT times and a lot of that persists even till today..

@Adstar The word your Bible translates as "screech owl" there is לִּילִית which is exactly Lilith.

Maybe the Christian translators were afraid of her and censored her out.

@ServantOfTheGoddess Naaa,, If they feared anything they feared God.. Not a made up character that never existed.. 🙂
