Hetiang hian Judate thuziakah Lilith-i chungchang hi a lo lang ve nual a. Mahse heng hi tlai khawhnu, Kristianna a darh hle tawh hnua Judate thawnthu mai a ni tih hriat reng a ṭha awm e. Talmud an tihah hian dan (code) leh a hrilhfiahna (commentary) tam tak a awm a.

Lilith tih hi Bible-ah hian hmun pakhat, Isaia 34:14-ah chhiatna lo thleng tur sawi lawknaah a lo lang ve a. Thlalera ramsa te, chinghnia te, sathar te a sawi hnuah “zan thil hlauhawm pui chuan chutah chuan awm hmun a khuar ang a” tih kan hmu. He laia “zan thil hlauhawm pui” a tih hi Hebrai ṭawng chuan Lilith tih a ni. Bible lehlin tharah erawh chuan “ṭaunu” tia dah a ni thung. Grik Bible (LXX)-ah chuan “onokéntauroi” tia dah a ni.

Heng aṭang hian chhiatna lam nena inkaihhnawih ramhuainu anga hriat a ni tih a hmuh theih. Mahse Bible-ah hian Adama nupui ang erawh chuan sawi a ni ngai hauh lo. Adama nupui kan hmuh chu Evi a ni a, “mi nung zawng zawng nu” tia sawi a ni a (Gen 3.20; 4.1). Paula pawhin “Adama chu siam hmasak a ni a, chu mi hnuah Evi chu siam a ni a” a ti mai a (1 Tim 2:13).

Mahse a chungchang thu an thuziaka a lo lan chian takna chu hun laihawl (Middle Age) laiin a ni daih thung. Chung hun lai chuan Bible-in thilsiam thu a sawi hrulah an chheh vela hnam dangte hmanlai thawnthu rin chhan deuhin Lilith-i chungchang hi an phuah belh ta niin a lang.

Hmanlai Judate khan thuziak leh thawnthu chi hrang hrang tam tak an nei. Thilsiam chungchang pawh Genesis-a kan hmuh hrulah tlema danglam deuhin an ziak kur ngiai nguai mai. Mahse Bible pawn lama mi hi chu kan rinna leh kan thiltih tehna ber atana kan hman tur an ni lo. Hriat zauna atan chuan thawnthu leh thuziak hrang hrangte chu an tangkai a ni thei. Mahse kan rinna leh kan nun kawng atan erawh chuan Bible thu leh a zirtirna hi kan innghahna ber tur chu a ni a. A beh bawm thawnthu phuah chawp, Bible nena inmil lo te hi chu chaw tak khuka lo khukpui hlut tur an ni lem lo e.
