Soul Stealer

Soul Stealer

Leading people to an evil path through persuasion or seductions (originally referring to a kidnapper).

("For if a man is found stealing a person from his fellow Israelites, and it is dealt with him and he is sold, that thief shall die, and you shall remove the evil from among you" – Deuteronomy 24:7. And also: "The Rabbis taught (Exodus 20): ‘You shall not steal’ – regarding stealing people, as it is written. You might ask: does it mean stealing people, or is it only about stealing money? Go and learn from the thirteen attributes that the Torah is expounded in." – Sanhedrin 56a)
