I’ve seen lots of mixed ideas about who she was. From what I’ve read she is mentioned in the Book of Isaiah. I got a lot of my info I know about her from this Video it’s a great watch if you haven’t seen it check it out.

So here’s what I understand about her.

Most sources credit her as an entity is the best word I can think to us. in Jewish and Mesopotamian beliefs and not Christian.

However some translations of Isaiah 34:14 she is mentioned with serveral explanations of what she is supposed to be.

Is there anything I got wrong or anything else I should know any help is great thank you!

    Those translations are, IIUC, choosing to preserve “Lilith” as a proper name rather than translate it as a common noun meaning “night creature”.

    Discussions of Lilith are always mythological in nature, not theological.
