Isaiah 34:14 has the Hebrew word lilit, a night creature in the ruins of Edom. The Lumin Translation says night creature, the King James Version says screech owl, and a few translations keep the name Lilith. The story of Lilith as Adam’s first wife comes from Jewish folklore written down in the Middle Ages, not from Genesis.
