Who was Lilith in the bible?

History

IRISSAK [1]3 years ago

Lilith is mentioned only once in the Bible -- In Isaiah 34:14.   Some translations say "night monster" or "night creature" as a translation for "Lilith."    

Janet Howe Gaines, writing for <em>Biblical History Daily </em>(March 15, 2018), describes the mythological figure of Lilith as having her origins "in Babylonian demonology, where amulets and incantations were used to counter the sinister powers of this winged spirit who preyed on pregnant women and infants."  Gaines adds concerning the Bible reference:   "The Lilith demon was apparently so well known to Isaiah’s audience that no explanation of her identity was necessary. The Isaiah passage lacks specifics in describing Lilith, but it locates her in desolate places. The Bible verse thus links Lilith directly to the demon of the Gilgamesh epic who flees 'to the desert.' The wilderness traditionally symbolizes mental and physical barrenness; it is a place where creativity and life itself are easily extinguished."

Mention of Lilith by Isaiah is included in a chapter warning Israel of what will happen to nations like Edom that follow gods other than the LORD God.

Identify three businesses who either contributed to or benefited from the growth of the railroads?
solong [7]

Answer:

Steel, oil, and agriculture businesses all benefited from the growth of railroads.

Explanation:

Because of railroads steel, oil, and agriculture became easier accessible resources.

Steel also contributed to the growth of railroads. The railroads were the biggest customers for the steel industry because thousands of miles of steel track were laid. In turn, the railroads had a great impact on the steel industry. To supply their biggest customers, steel producers developed cheap, efficient methods for the mass production of steel rails.

The railroad companies contributed to the development of the West by selling low-cost parcels of their western land for farming. Oil companies grew swiftly in this period, most notably the Standard Oil Company, founded by John D. Rockefeller.

Lastly, agriculture the railroads played an important part in agriculture by moving the goods to markets both within and outside of the state. Most of the dairy products were shipped to California, and the wheat was shipped either as grain or as flour to California and the southern states

Deffense [45]
While being help in prison before conviction, King's DNA was logged and used in court. Unfortunately for King his DNA matched the DNA of a male who took a woman without her consent. 

The supreme court ruled King's right to privacy (4th Amendment) was more critical than Maryland's interest in convicting him for his crime. Odd case.
