In Kabbalah, Eisheth Zenunim (Hebrew: אֵשֶׁת זְנוּנִים, lit.'Woman of Whoredom') is a princess of the qlippoth who rules Gamaliel, the order of the qlippoth of Yesod.[1] She is found in Zohar 1:5a as a feminine personification of sin.[2]

Eisheth Zenunim is one of the four mates of Samael, who is a destructive and seductive force. The other three female demons are Lilith, Naamah, and Agrat bat Mahlat, comprising a group that has been compared to the Sidonian Astarte.[3]
