Only a small fraction of Hebraic wisdom is in The Bible.

“According to Talmudic tradition, after Adam and Eve were driven from the Garden of Eden, Adam was separated from Eve for 130 years. During this time female spirits had intercourse with Adam, and male spirits with Eve, and from these unions the mazikeen were born.

“Some Talmudic scholars have called them ghouls and demons. Others have characterised them as ‘fairies’, somewhat reminiscent of the European Celtic variety: winged creatures that could fly and practise magic. Victorian explorer-translator Sir Richard F. Burton believed the mazikeen were equivalent to djinn. They were able to foretell the future and could shapeshift. Like humans, they enjoyed feasting and drinking, and they married and had children.”

You said in the Bible.

So now you are saying, well not in the Bible but in other books where there are things that some people say are... well not jinn there either but something sort of like them if you stretch quite a bit and tilt your head just so it could be something similar.

Really?
