Jewish folklore has significantly influenced interpretations of certain biblical elements, introducing extra-biblical characters into scriptural contexts. One such figure is Lilith, a demon goddess from ancient Babylonian myth, who became intertwined with Jewish folklore alongside her companion, Samael, and was imagined in the Genesis 1 creation account and later associated with the prophecy of Edom's destruction in Isaiah 34:14. Similarly, the concept of azazel in the Day of Atonement ritual, mentioned in Leviticus 16, has been shaped by folklore. Between the testaments, Jewish folklore created a lesser demon named Azazel, blamed for all human sin, as seen in texts like The Book of Enoch. By a millennium after Leviticus 16, the term azazel had transformed into a proper name within these traditions. Many Jews of that era used a saying that reflected this blend of Scripture and folklore, viewing the live goat of the ritual as an offering sent to Samael, the Devil, who was conflated with their myth of Azazel. This interpretation suggests a shocking deviation, implying that the goat was sent to a demon personality named Azazel, an idea that stands in stark contrast to the biblical command against acknowledging false gods or sacrificing to demons, as explicitly prohibited in Leviticus 17:7 and other passages. Such folklore-driven interpretations risk distorting the truth and must be approached with caution to maintain the integrity of God's Word.
