Are you still having big texass demon fits of de'Nile over the large Persian influence on your 'religion' too? You people seem to know the old river of de'Nile better than any explorers that ever lived. <lol>
Like the religion your politics are so centered around denial, fable & fantasy, both the Hebrews & Christians are all unwitting disciples of the Persian prophet Zoroaster, but it wouldn't be the first time you were this unwitted & duped by constant need for denial. ....Out of Egypt I Called My Son!!
Most of what you call Judaism in fact comes out from Babylon, hugely affected by the Persians with Cyrus the Great. Then afterwords when the Hellenes take over 300BC with Alexander but even before with the worship of that Goddess wife of Yahweh, they were so fond of in Elephantine, Egypt ..meme
The Talmud was greatly influenced by Persian culture.It derives, in fact, much of its content directly from the Zend-Avesta, as will be detailed in brief below.
One finds in the Talmud not only Persian superstition and legend, but
many legal decisions handed down in accordance with Persian code. Not to mention
the customs and usages of Persian life. Even the forms and expressions of the
literary Pahlavi entered into the Talmud in no small way. The Persian influence
on the Talmud is so great that, at times, it is difficult to separate what is
Jewish from what is Persian in it.
A system of nomenclature for angels in Jewish lore, prior to Persian
influence, did not exist.
We find for example, angels being named for the first
time in the book of Daniel (a book compiled during the Persian exile). The
naming of angels was important in the Persian religion, and the Talmud itself
relates that: “Shemot HaMal’akhim ‘Alu Lahem MiBavel” – “The names of the Angels
arose from Babylon”. Those familiar with Rabbanite theology will note how it is
replete with the mention of good and bad angels (just think of the Rabbanite
Shalom ‘Aleikhem song for Shabbat night).

In Persian teaching, there were two gods, a good god, Ahura Mazda, and an
evil god, Ahriman. The Talmud, in fact, went to the extent of borrowing the
names of many of the deities and angels in the Persian pantheon, such as: Mithra
(called Metatron in the Talmud), Hadar (called Hadarni’el in the Talmud),
Dahriman, Tir, Serosh(1) , Aesmadiv [“spirit of anger” in Persian] (called
Ashmedai in the Talmud), Angra/Agra (called Agrat in the Talmud),and many
more…
DEMONS
As with angels, so did the Amora’im [the Rabbis quoted in the Talmud]of
Babylon and the writers of the Christian scriptures draw freely from the
Zend-Avesta’s troves of superstitions about demons and imps. Let’s start with a
look at Ahriman. From the Talmud, we learn that the angel, Ahriman is identified
with Satan (Masekhet Bava Batra 16). Masekhet Sanhedrin 29, and the Vendidad II,
384 refer to Ahriman as the Serpent of Hell.
