| 1386 | ENT_ZOR_AESHMA_DAEVA | received_as | ENT_LAT_ASMODEUS | high | Aeshma Daeva (Avestan: aēšma daēuua, "demon of wrath") is the direct etymological source of Hebrew Ashmedai / Greek Asmodeus. Tobit 3:8 introduces Asmodeus as the demon who has killed each of Sarah's seven husbands; Raphael binds him in Egypt (8:3). The name derivation (aēšma → Ashm-dai) is philologically secure. DDD_BIBLE s.v. "Asmodeus" and Boyce document the transmission. This is one of the clearest cross-traditional demonic transmissions in Second Temple literature. | SRC_TOBIT | reviewed | PER_ISR_SECOND_TEMPLE |
