[QUOTE="Ishmael, post: 75019, member: 532"] From what I can gather, the term "lilithu' was a Canaanite word that meant evil screeching spirit/demon. There is a single mention of this word in the Bible and the literature is as you said, only really in the secondary retellings of Creation and the early days. In Isaiah (34:14) the word DOES appear in the Hebrew; "וּפָגְשׁ֤וּ צִיִּים֙ אֶת־אִיִּ֔ים וְשָׂעִ֖יר עַל־רֵעֵ֣הוּ יִקְרָ֑א אַךְ־שָׁם֙ הִרְגִּ֣יעָה לִּילִ֔ית וּמָצְאָ֥ה לָ֖הּ מָנֽוֹח׃ " or "...Wildcats shall meet hyenas, Goat-demons shall greet each other; There too the lilith shall repose And find herself a resting place." And as you can obviously tell by just this verse alone there is a spiritual/demonic context. The surrounding verses share this. So obviously despite the direct translation (which is horrible) as "screech owl" or similar (KJV says "night creature"), the original connotation is kept. From what evidence I can recall we have on the original word, it was a spirit associated with preying on pregnant women, women in childbirth and young children. Once again, this is the ONLY mention of 'lilith' in the entire Hebrew Bible and it has nothing to do with Adam or Eve or creation at all; it is simply referencing a specific demon. There's nothing more until you get to medieval Kabballah where we begin see the literature about Lilith the entity rather than a demon class or descriptor. We also begin to see the inherent sexual nature of the rest of Kabballah if you pay attention and actually pick up on the subtle messages they implanted to entice younger spiritually active men to 'learn more'. Once you find out why Rabbi Akiva wanted the Song of Songs (Solomon's Song) in the Tanakh, you begin to realize why it doesn't need to be there and why it's ALSO another breadcrumb for Kabballah. You'll never read it the same again. [/QUOTE]
