Lilith (female night-demon haunting desolate places; Babylonian loan-word)
Lilith is a female night-demon appearing in Isaiah 34:14 among the creatures inhabiting desolate Edom. The name is likely borrowed from Babylonian lilîtu, a class of night-spirits. Later Jewish legend greatly expanded Lilith's role, but in Scripture she appears only in this prophetic vision of judgment and desolation. The passage describes supernatural creatures dwelling among ruins—a haunt for owls, jackals, and this night-demon. Some English translations render this as "night-creature" or "screech-owl" rather than transliterating the name.

1. sense 1 — Isaiah 34:14 lists Lilith among the eerie inhabitants of judged Edom: wild animals, demons, and night-creatures. Spanish preserves "Lilit" as a transliteration, recognizing the proper noun character. The prophet envokes ancient Near Eastern demon-lore to paint a picture of complete desolation—a place where only supernatural predators dwell, emphasizing the thoroughness of divine judgment. 1×
