II. 9. Lilith

Lilith is another name of the first woman, in Judaism she is considered Eve, one of two. There is a legend that after the fall, Adam separated from Eve for 130 years and had relations with the spirits of the lilin demons. Among Armenians, the name Lilith is a popular female name. This name is considered to give its owner such properties and character traits as femininity, thriftiness and fertility. Lilith gave birth to Seth.

25 And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth: For God, said she, hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew.

26 And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos: then began men to call upon the name of the LORD.

(Genesis 4:25-26)

This text tells about the creation of modern humanity. Here is a retelling of an older myth, but with some distortions. Seth is the ancestor of modern humanity, who was created to replace the Igigi in hard labor. In other words, Seth came to replace the Igigi, not Cain.

The name Lilith means "red owl". In Sumerian, the word "lil" means "air", "wind", and the owl's habitat is air, the airspace, since it flies. Lilith is mentioned in the Bible text when the book of Isaiah speaks of the desolation of Idumea after God's judgment:

13 And thorns shall come up in her palaces, nettles and brambles in the fortresses thereof: and it shall be an habitation of dragons, and a court for owls.

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.

(Isaiah 34:13-14)

Lilith the owl is a night bird. But over time, the idea emerged that Lilith is a ghost.

Archimandrite Job (Gumerov) claims that it is clear from the text of Isaiah that it is about an animal, not a spirit that does not need rest. A "night ghost" is an animal that leads a nocturnal lifestyle and inspires fear in a person.

When creating the Septuagint, rabbinical scholars did not leave the word Lilith in the Greek text because it is not a proper name. If it were a proper name, it should have been left unchanged. Scholars translated it with a Greek word meaning "half-man, half-donkey." The donkey is a symbol of the Egyptian god Seth, also known as Seth, the son of Eve / Lilith. In the Slavic Bible, this word is given without translation: "there rest the onocentaurs, who have found rest for themselves." When creating the Vulgate, the word Lamia was used - a female monster.

But for the ancient Balts, Laima is a positive heroine, the goddess of happiness and fate, patroness of childbirth and protector of cows. The goddess Laima is one of the oldest Lithuanian goddesses, known since the Stone Age. Her image has existed for a long time, as evidenced by mythological song relics. They ask her not to allow a girl and a boy - future newlyweds - to be born and live in the same village, that is, this expressed the attitude of ancient people against incest.

In the English text of the Geneva Bible of 1560 and the King James Bible of 1611, the word "Lilith" is translated as "screech owl" (in the feminine gender), a barn owl, a type of owl: "the screech owl also shall rest there, and find for herself a place of rest", which goes back to the late Latin translations of the Bible. Later translations into English use the words "night owl", "night monster" and Lilith.
