Demon - Demons in the Hebrew Bible: Encyclopedia II - Demon - Demons in the Hebrew Bible

Demons as described in the Tanakh are not the same as "demons" commonly known in popular or Christian culture. The demons mentioned in the Hebrew Bible are of two classes, the se'irim and the shedim. The se'irim ("hairy beings"), to which some Israelites sacrificed in the open fields, are satyr-like creatures, described as dancing in the wilderness (Isaiah xiii. 21, xxxiv. 14), and which are identical with the jinn. (But compare the completely European woodwose.) Possibly to the same class belongs Azazel, t ...

In the Talmud and Midrash, Lilith appears as a night demon. The idea of Lilith as the first wife of Adam arose in the Middle Ages. Lilith - Etymology. Hebrew לילית lilith, Akkadian līlītuIncluding:

Demon - Demons in the Hebrew Bible: Encyclopedia - Shedim

Shedim are demons or spirits, according to Jewish mysticism. Some are reputed to have had the legs of a cock. These beings are allegedly mentioned in Psalms 106:37, although biblical translations use the word "demons". Theoretically, sinful people sacrificed their daughters to the shedim, but it is unclear if the sacrifice consisted in the murdering of the victims or in the sexual satisfaction of the demons. To see if these demons were present in some place, ashes were thrown to the ground or fl ...

Demon - Demons in the Hebrew Bible: Encyclopedia - Aziraphale

Aziraphale is a fictional angel in the novel Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman. He was supposedly the angel of the flaming sword who guarded the Garden of Eden after Adam and Eve were cast out (Genesis 3:24). Concerning the character's name, Pratchett says "It was made up, but from real ingredients". Aziraphale's name is an anglicisation of Aziraphael, and from the Hebrew elements we can glean that his name means "God heals my Strength." He is a Principality, possibly demoted from the ran ...

In the Hebrew Bible, the Witch of Endor of the First book of Samuel, chapter 28:4–25, was a witch, a woman "who possesses a talisman", through which she called up the ghost of the recently deceased prophet Samuel, at the demand of King Saul of Israel. After Samuel's death and burial with due mourning ceremonies in Ramah, Saul had driven all necromancers and magicians from Israel. Then, in a bitter irony, Saul sought out the witch, anonymously and in disguise, only after he received no answer from God from dreams, prophets or the Uri ...

The Book of Tobit (or Book of Tobias in older Catholic Bibles) is a book of scripture that is part of the Catholic and Orthodox biblical canon, pronounced canonical by the Council of Carthage of 397 and confirmed for Roman Catholics by the Council of Trent (1546). Tobit is regarded by Protestants as apocryphal. It has never been considered an integral part of the Tanach, the Hebrew Old Testament, but Aramaic and Hebrew fragments of the book were discovered in Cave IV at Qumran in 1955. These fragments are generally in ag ...
