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.

Which phrase best defines laissez-faire?
zalisa [80]

B.) to leave alone and let be

Laissez-faire refers to a free market economic policy where the government has no control over the economy. It is a French term which means to "let it be".

Capitalism in its pure form is a laissez-faire economic system. During the late 19th century, the US practiced laissez-faire capitalism. The government had no regulations on the economic system and employers were allowed to run their businesses as they wished. In a free system like this there are opportunities to become very wealthy but workers are often exploited.

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

I think the answer is B. Japan, Germany, and Italy.

Explanation:

This is because Hitler wanted to take over the world but the entirety of Europe will do. Mussolini and Hitler were good friends and Italy backed Hitler by declaring war on Britian when Britain refuses to surrender after the fall of France. Japan was out of natural resources like oil and rubber so they wanted to get get some which was in south east asia. They launched the invasion through Korea, CHina, and so on to get the natural resources in South East Asia.
