| : Behabalth-Ob can be
translated several different ways. In some
translations, Ob means "python," which
could refer to a literal serpent or an evil
spirit. Therefore, Behabalth-Oh could
mean that the woman "owns" a python or is
"owned by" (i.e. possessed by) a python. The
Latin Vulgate calls the witch of Endor a
pythonissa or mulier pythonem habens,
meaning a woman who tells fortunes by consulting
a python or conjured spirit. For a discussion of the
meaning of python see
Delphic Oracle.
