Genesis 14:10
And a valley of the Demons is pit-wells pit-wells of tar. And they are testing a king of Sodom and Gomorrah, and they are falling in that place of herself, and the Remaining Ones into a mountain of herself have vanished.
And the valley of Siddim was full of asphalt pits, and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and fell there. And they that remained fled to the mountain.
Now the Valley of Siddim was full of bitumen pits, and as the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, some fell into them, and the rest fled to the hill country.
Now the salt valley consists of slime pits. And the king of Sodom fled and the king of Gomorrah, and they fell in there: and they that were left fled to the mountain country.

| 533 | valley of the Demons....pit wells pit wells of tar. Hebrew בארת בארת. The word for “pit-well” in plural is repeated. Interpreted to mean full of tar pits by other translators. Although “two pits” for “two cities” also makes sense. Hinting at the location of the Tower of Babel which was built using tar/bitumen in Genesis 11. The Hebrew word שדים (shadim) is interpreted as "demons" or "evil spirits" in biblical and post-biblical texts. The term appears in Deuteronomy 32:17 and Psalm 106:37, where it refers to malevolent spirits. In later Jewish tradition, שדים came to represent a class of supernatural beings, sometimes thought to inhabit desolate places. In biblical Hebrew, שדים can be confused with שד (shad), which means "breast" and also שדה which means "field." |
