Hi
Please help me understand this sentence, thank you in advance.
"Eve bore demons to male spirits for the space of 130 years"
context: "Adam procreated all the spirits while he was under a spell (Gen. R. xx. 11; 'Er. 18b). Similarly, Eve bore demons to male spirits for the space of 130 years. This corresponds to the view that the demons are half human (Ḥag. 16a). Hence an abortion which has the shape of Lilith may be a child, though it has wings (Nid. 24b).".

The demons were her offspring. The male spirits were their fathers.
