Hebrew Bible
The term belial (?????????? beli-yaal) is a Hebrew adjective meaning "worthless"
from two common words beli- (?????? "without-") and ya'al ( ????? "value"). It
occurs twenty-seven times in the Masoretic Text, in verses such as the following
:
"A naughty person (Hebrew adam beli-yaal)" Book of Proverbs 6:12[3]
Of these 27 occurrences, the idiom "sons of Belial" (?????????????????? beni bel
iyaal) appears 15 times to indicate worthless people, including idolaters (Deute
ronomy 13:13), the men of Gibeah (Judges 19:22, 20:13), the sons of Eli (1 Samue
l 2:12), Nabal, and Shimei. In the King James Version of the Christian Bible, th
ese occurrences are rendered with "Belial" capitalised:
"the sons of Eli were sons of Belial " (KJV)
In modern versions these are usually read as a phrase:
"the sons of Eli were worthless men " (NRSV, NIV)
In the Hebrew text the phrase is either "sons of Belial" or simply "sons of wort
hlessness."[4][5] However "sons of" phrases are a common semitic idiom such as "
sons of destruction" "sons of lawlessness".[6]
The etymology of the word is traditionally understood as "lacking worth".[7] Som
e scholars translate it from Hebrew as "worthless" (Beli yo'il), while others tr
anslate it as "yokeless" (Beli ol), "may have no rising" (Belial) or "never to r
ise" (Beli ya'al). Only a few etymologists have assumed it to be an invented nam

e from the start.[8] (Be'lial) [from Heb., meaning "lacking benefit"; a compound
of beli', "not, lacking," and ya?al', "be of benefit; be beneficial"]. The qualit
y or state of being useless, base, lacking benefit. The Hebrew term beliya'?al is
applied to ideas, words, and counsel,[9] to calamitous circumstances,[10] and m
ost frequently, to worthless men of the lowest sort for example, men who would ind
uce worship of other gods;[11] those of Benjamin who committed the sex crime at
Gibeah;[12] the wicked sons of Eli;[13] insolent Nabal;[14] opposers of God s anoi
nted, David;[15] Rehoboam's unsteady associates;[16] Jezebel's conspirators agai
nst Naboth;[17] and men in general who stir up contention.[18] Indicating that t
he enemy power would no longer interfere with the carrying out of true worship b
y his people in their land, YHWH declared through his prophet: "No more will any
worthless person pass again through you. In his entirety he will certainly be c
ut off."[19]
Second Temple period
The term belial appears frequently in Jewish texts of the Second Temple period (
texts classified by Christians as the Old Testament pseudepigrapha and apocrypha
).[7] Also a large number of references to Belial are evidenced in the Dead Sea
Scrolls discovered at Qumran from 1948.
Dead Sea Scrolls
In The War of the Sons of Light Against the Sons of Darkness,[20] one of the Dea
d Sea scrolls, Belial is the leader of the Sons of Darkness:
"You 11 made Belial for the pit, angel of enmity; in dark[ness] is his [dom]
ain, his counsel is to bring about wickedness and guilt. All the spirits 12 of h
is lot are angels of destruction, they walk in the laws of darkness; towards it
goes their only [de]sire."[21]
In the Rules of the Community, God is found making a very prolific statement: "I
shall not comfort the oppressed until their path is perfect. I shall not retain
Belial within my heart."
The War Scroll and the Thanksgiving hymns both delve into the idea that Belial i
s accursed by God and his people, and shows how the existence of Belial in this
world can be attributed to the mysteries of God since we can not know why he per
mits the dealings of Belial to persist.
In the Dead Sea Scrolls, Belial is further contrasted with God. These are the An
gel of Light and the Angel of Darkness. The Manual of Discipline identifies the
Angel of Light as God himself. The Angel of Darkness is identified in the same s
croll as Belial.
Also in The Dead Sea Scrolls is a recounting of a dream of Amram, the father of
Moses, who finds two 'watchers' contesting over him. One is Belial who is descri
bed as the King of Evil and Prince of Darkness. Belial is also mentioned in the
Fragments of a Zadokite Work (which is also known as The Damascus Document (CD))
, which states that during the eschatological age, "Belial shall be let loose ag
ainst Israel, as God spoke through Isaiah the prophet."[22] The Fragments also s
peak of "three nets of Belial" which are said to be fornication, wealth, and pol
lution of the sanctuary.[23] In this work, Belial is sometimes presented as an a
gent of divine punishment and sometimes as a rebel, as Mastema is. It was Belial
who inspired the Egyptian sorcerers, Jochaneh and his brother, to oppose Moses
and Aaron. The Fragments also say that anyone who is ruled by the spirits of Bel
ial and speaks of rebellion should be condemned as a necromancer and wizard.
Jubilees
In the Book of Jubilees, uncircumcised Gentiles are called "sons of Belial".
Testament of the Twelve Patriarchs

Belial is also mentioned in the Testaments of the Twelve Patriarchs. The author
of the work seems to be a dualist because he presents Belial as God's opponent,
not as a servant, but does not mention how or why this came to be. Simeon 5:3 sa
ys that fornication separates man from God and brings him near to Belial. Levi t
ells his children to choose between the Law of God and the works of Belial[24] I
t also states that when the soul is constantly disturbed, the Lord departs from
it and Belial rules over it. Naphtali[25] contrasts the Law and will of God with
the purposes of Belial. Also, in 20:2, Joseph prophesies that when Israel leave
s Egypt, they will be with God in light while Belial will remain in darkness wit
h the Egyptians. Finally, the Testament describes that when the Messiah comes, t
he angels will punish the spirits of deceit and Belial[26] and that the Messiah
will bind Belial and give to his children the power to trample the evil spirits.
[27]
In summation, though a man be young or old, noble or poor, fornication bring
eth upon men reproach from Belial, making themselves a laughing stock amongst th
e Sons of Men and derision with Belial.[28]
Ascension of Isaiah
In the Ascension of Isaiah, Belial is the angel of lawlessness and "the ruler of
this world", and identified as Samael and Satan.[1]
And Manasseh turned aside his heart to serve Belial; for the angel of lawles
sness, who is the ruler of this world, is Belial, whose name is Matanbuchus.
?(Ascension of Isaiah 2:4)
[1]
Christianity
In the New Testament the word occurs once, when Paul the Apostle asks:
"[W]hat concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth
with an infidel?" (2 Corinthians 6:15)
The spelling found in most manuscripts of 2 Corinthians is actually Beliar (????
??) not Belial (??????). This is the reading preferred by textual scholars[29] a
nd the change of -l to -r is attributed to a common change in Aramaic pronunciat
ion.[30][31]
The Jewish Greek Septuagint, later the Old Testament of the early Christian chur
ch, generally renders the "sons of Belial" verses in the Hebrew Bible either as
"lawless men", by idioms "sons of the pest", rather than a personal name "sons o
f Belial.":
andres paranomoi" ("lawless men" ?????? ????????) (Deuteronomy 13:13)
huioi loimoi ("sons of the plague" ???? ?????) (1 Samuel 2:12)
The Septuagint also avoids Belial in the singular so Shimei (2 Samuel 16:7) when
he cursed David, "Come out, come out, thou bloody man, and thou man of Belial"
is rendered "you lawless man" (paranomos), and Hannah to Eli "Count not thine ha
ndmaid for a daughter of Belial" is rendered "don't count your maidservant as a
daughter of the pest"[32] The Latin Vulgate[33][34] and Syriac Peshitta Old Test
aments in some cases follow the Greek, in other literalize as Hebrew. The single
New Testament use is preserved "Belial" in Latin and Syriac.
Resurrection of Jesus Christ (by Bartholomew)
In the Resurrection of Jesus Christ (by Bartholomew) of the New Testament apocry
pha, Belial was visible along with 666 fallen angels when Michael was commanded
by Jesus to show Hell to his disciples.

Rabbinical literature
The Talmud and rabbinical interpretation generally follow a non-supernatural vie
w, an allegorical personification of evil, as with rabbinical interpretations of
evil. The phrase "sons of Belial" from the Torah continued to retain currency.[
35]
English literature
John Milton, Paradise Lost, Book I
BELIAL came last, than whom a Spirit more lewd
Fell not from Heaven, or more gross to love
Vice for it self: To him no Temple stood
Or Altar smoak'd; yet who more oft then hee
In Temples and at Altars, when the Priest
Turns Atheist, as did ELY'S Sons, who fill'd
With lust and violence the house of God.
In Courts and Palaces he also Reigns
And in luxurious Cities, where the noyse
Of riot ascends above thir loftiest Towrs,
And injury and outrage: And when Night
Darkens the Streets, then wander forth the Sons
Of BELIAL, flown with insolence and wine.
Witness the Streets of SODOM, and that night
In GIBEAH, when hospitable Dores
Yielded thir Matrons to prevent worse rape.
John Milton, Paradise Lost, Book 2
... On th' other side up rose
BELIAL, in act more graceful and humane;
A fairer person lost not Heav'n; he seemd
For dignity compos'd and high exploit:
But all was false and hollow; though his Tongue
Dropt Manna, and could make the worse appear
The better reason, to perplex and dash
Maturest Counsels: for his thoughts were low;
To vice industrious, but to Nobler deeds
Timorous and slothful: yet he pleas'd the eare...
Robert Browning (1839), "Soliloquy of the Spanish Cloister", eighth stanza:
Or, my scrofulous French novel
On gray paper with blunt type !
Simply glance at it, you grovel
Hand and foot in BELIAL's gripe:
If I double down its pages
At the woeful sixteenth print,
When he gathers his greengages,
Ope a sieve and slip it in't?
Occult
The 17th-Century German grimoire The Lesser Key of Solomon mentions Belial, as d
oes Aleister Crowley's Goetia (1904) and Anton LaVey's The Satanic Bible (1969).
In The Satanic Bible (The Book of Belial), Belial means "without a master", and
symbolizes independence, self-sufficiency, and personal accomplishment.
In 1937, Edgar Cayce used the term "sons of belial" and "sons of the law of one"
for the first time in one of his deep trance readings given between 1923 and 19

45. Cayce was often referred to as the "sleeping prophet" who gave over 2,500 re
adings to individuals while in a deep trance state. While his definition of the
sons of belial was consistent with the Hebrew meaning of "worthless" individuals
focused on self-gratification, Cayce went on to use the term frequently to comp
are opposing human forces at work in pre-historical times related to the early d
evelopment of Atlantis.
