Description: Another video discussing the complex ancient history surrounding a biblical character! Today, I’m going to try to answer the question: Who was Lilith? And what did she mean to the bible’s original authors? Whip out your Dead Sea Scrolls for this detailed textual analysis of the biblical character of Lilith! Hope you enjoy! Please also fact-check what I say in this video. I'm no expert at the end of the day and I'm just a guy who reads a lot so please check my sources ;) (I might make a part two to this video because some of the info is already outdated and because it was long enough already) Citations: Dictionary of Deities and Demons in the Bible by Karel van der Toorn and Pieter Willem van der Horst De-Demonising the Old Testament: An Investigation of Azazel, Lilith, Deber, Qeteb and Reshef in the Hebrew Bible by Judit M.
