Laylah (Lailah, Lailahel, Leliel)

Angel who oversees and protects childbirth. The name Laylah derives from the Hebrew word layil, meaning “night.” In Jewish lore, Laylah is portrayed as being both good and bad. In the Zohar and Talmud, he guards birth and the newborn, and he proclaims if the individual will be strong or weak, wise or foolish, and rich or poor. Elsewhere he is said to fight for ABRAHAM in his battle against kings. In other Jewish lore, Laylah is similar to Lilith as a DEMON of the night who attacks those who sleep alone and as a “prince of conception.”
