MAZIKEEN

Domain	Definition
Literature	Mazikeen or Shedeem. A species of beings in Jewish mythology exactly resembling the Arabian Jinn or genii, and said to be the agents of magic and enchantment. When Adam fell, says the Talmud, he was excommunicated for 130 years, during which time he begat demons and spectres; for, it is written, "Adam lived 130 years and (i.e. before he) begat children in his own image" (Genesis v. 3). (Rabbi Jeremiah ben Eliezar.) "And the Mazikeen shall not come nigh thy tents."- Psalm xci. 5 (Chaldee version). Swells out like the Mazikeen ass. The allusion is to a Jewish tradition that a servant, whose duty it was to rouse the neighbourhood to midnight prayer, found one night an ass in the street, which he mounted. As he rode along the ass grew bigger and bigger, till at last it towered as high as the tallest edifice, where it left the man, and where next morning he was found. Source: Brewer's Dictionary.
