Lilith shows up in one passage in the Bible - Isaiah 34:14. Most translations make it hard to spot her. But in this video we dive into what the Bible says about her, some possible interpretations of what Isaiah may have considered her, and how this figure shows up outside the Bible both before and after the Isaiah text was written.
