One author, Barbara Koltuv, in "The Book of Lilith" lists Isaiah 34:14 as a reference. However, in my KJV there is only reference to a "screach owl", one must then use the 'fact' that Lilith is assocciated with the screach owl. I couldn't find the other translations around the house to see what others have done with the verse. -- John Clark jclark@ucsd.edu [NRSV and NJPSV have Lilith and "the lilith" respectively. The Oxford Annotated footnote says that Lilith is a storm demon found in abandoned places, and wild animals. NJPSV says it is some sort of demon. Is this the same Lilith? --clh]
