Who was Lilith?

BTW: Nice picture of a really great looking statuette, Missak! The problem with Lilith is that she was found in some scrolls that cannot be truly identified. Were they Christian Jewish, Anti-Jew propaganda? We'll never know. But the writer was certainly a great storyteller. Lilith was the equal to Adam, and you can see the problem. She wanted to have total equality, and was no pushover. She even knew that actual name of God, which supposedly contains all the power of the Universe! But....she couldn't do as she was told, so she ran away. Amazingly, as part of her punishment, she allowed her children to be killed in great numbers, though they all were little demons. It's said that they are Succubi and Incubi, but I didn't see that in the transcript of the scroll that I just read. Supposedly she dwells by the Black Sea, still making little demons. As you can see from her statuette, that she obtained wings and the power of flight by uttering the name of God. Quite an interesting, but mostly miserable creature. I almost feel for her. See what I mean? Talk about a great story....

Stick around dude the longer you live the more versions of the bible will become available.

Lilith was the first feminist. According to Hebrew tradition, she was Adam's first mate. When she demanded equality, she was cast out, by adam's request. She is possibly the reason behind the population of the world in the earliest of times.

I heard that Lilith was Adam's first mate. In the beginning G-d created both Adam and Lilith at the same time.Then Adam told Lilith that he was to rule over her and she didn't see why so G-d bannished her from Eden. Then G-d took a rib from Adam and made Eve.I believe it is in the Bible but I don't know where.

The two others before me already posted some awesome information. But, I'd like to point out that Lilith was known under many names and in some cultures she was worshipped as a Goddess. Originally she had no demonic connections at all, she was worshipped as a fertility Goddess, but as time progressed she was seen more as a promiscuous Goddess of wild parties and dancing (fertility seen from some outsider's views who didn't stop to ask questions more likely) who would seduce men so she could have children..and so she became the legend of a vampire, a succubus. Seducing men and in some stories and legends, killing them, or only severely weakening them with a 'mysterious illness'. There ARE many versions of the Bible, so it really depends which one you read whether you'll hear the..what, TWO mentionings of her? I thought there were only two, the first in Genesis as the first wife of Adam (which later versions deny her existance entirely), and the later more toward Revelations as a screech owl/demoness. But then again, you have to remember there was the written word before the Bible existed in any form..so there's also scrolls, folk legends, etc..as always with legends, myths, religion, everyone has to decide what Lilith is for themselves. To me personally? I view Lilith as one of the many aspects of the creator -- whatever you want to call it/they/her/him/etc. If only one of the wild, independant ones.. After all, I don't think the entity which many consider all-powerful and the creator of everything, is exactly DEFINEABLE. So everyone views it differently.

No.......... Adams wife was Eve

..it's not in the bible.. it's the vampire legend which says she was the first wife of Adam, scorned, and become the first vampire.. the bible says Eve was the wife of Adam, formed (at his side) when he was.. or slightly after, so that he said "finally!" Lilith could be a demon/dark entity! and they are in a way bloodsuckers. :))

She is mentioned in the King James version as a screetch owl. In other versions she's a demon that appears in various forms. Hebrew tradition has her as the first wife to Adam. The problem came in she thought she was equal to him since Adam didn't want that she left and God made Eve. Simplied version of the myth but you get the idea. Who knows for sure. I know I wasn't alive back then :)

i dont know much about lilith,but i heard about she is the true viral of human with adam,not eva and adam.if lilith is devil,doesnt mean that human are viral from demon?would it be the reason why lucifer betrayed?and bible created to tame human?

Popular medieval Jewish lore depicts her as the first wife of Adam, who departed from Eden and Adam after a dispute, afterwards becoming a mother of demons.

Lilith does not appear in the Christian Holy Bible. It is in Rabbinic midrash that she was supposed to be mentioned and later deleted by Rabbis. "He [God] created them [the first human]". Some of the Rabbis found in this image something similar to what Aristophanes proposed in the Symposium: a dual bodied being later divided into two who must thereafter seek each other out. But others tried to take into account the later creation of Eve. If woman was created from Adam than what happened to Lilith who was created at first? The answer, according to the Midrash, was that she was Lilith; created with Adam, she refused to comply with Adam's demand that she submit herself to him, and in the end fled from him. Adam then complained to God about his loneliness, and the creation of Eve followed.

i dont know dearr............
