Many people, whether they are religious or not, know the story of Adam and Eve. According to the Bible, God created Adam out of the dirt of the earth that He had made. When Adam grew lonely, God plucked a rib from Adam's body, and from this rib he created a companion for the first man: Eve.

What most people don't know is that Eve might not have been the first woman made by God. Before God created Eve, he made another woman, also for the purpose of serving as Adam's friend and companion. This woman was created out of dirt, like Adam had been. Her name was Lilith.

Lilith is not mentioned in the Bible, but is most likely a "legend" that was passed down orally before the Bible was ever written down.

Because of the way Lilith was born, she wanted to be just like Adam. They were both created in the same manner, so Lilith demanded to be Adam's equal, and to be treated this way. She refused to be regarded as a lower being than Adam, and was disobedient to him. Why should she obey her equal?

One day Adam came to God and told Him that his wife Lilith had vanished. God sent angels to seek her out and bring her back, When the angels found Lilith, they ordered her to come back or be punished. Lilith refused, saying that she'd rather suffer punishment than go back to Adam (sounds like a typical modern couple). She supposedly had 100 children a day with demons.

Lilith became a creature of the night. She goes around at night injuring children - she is said to harm boys on the first night of their life, and girls for the first 12 years. Some say that Lilith and her demon daughters are responsible for nocturnal emissions. To ward her off, children wore an amulet with the angels on it, to keep them safe.

In a way, Lilith was the first feminist to ever walk the earth. We are all made of the same dirt and flesh, she told the world, and therefore we are all equal. Perhaps knowing of Lilith it becomes easier to forgive Eve for her sin that led to humanity's fall from Eden - she was an obedient and inferior being. Meanwhile, Lilith escaped from such a life by any means possible, sacrificing paradise and living in darkness, just to escape from oppression.

And yet, despite her strength and steadfastness, we hear nothing of Lilith, but know the name of Eve. Perhaps we all have a thing of two to learn from Lilith.

Tales by moonlight !

Hmmm, just coming back from google. I've read many versions of this "lilith" story, I think it might be true, cos if God gave Adam spe rm when he created him, then he would definately have provided him where to release it to, that could also be the reason why the world became so populated, ahan, 100 children per day.
And if Lilith could become immortal, why not Adam too, or dose it means it pays to be rebellious, cos rebels strikes deals with God, just like they now do with goverments.

I have a question that I want God to give me an answer to in my dreams tonight.

God, pls, have YOU really being able to control all the things you have created.

Anybody that God has sent too can also help me out with this question.

lol. U all believed the Adam and Eve story simply because it was recorded thousands of years ago and dismissed this other myth because it is just been spread...! Why was Eve created from a man's rib.....lol?? Ancient Masculine single sided narrative stories...! Anyone who still have d age old perspective of women been the "Weaker Sex" obviously is a LEARNER!!

#Lastly anyone interested should take d time out to google the book of Enoch and read it. You might just learn a whole new story.

The Jews have taken the world hostage by being smart enough to popularize their own creation myths and their cultural tenets before most other people realized the importance of writing. Adam, Eve and Lilith are all fictional characters. Unfortunately, because of the way it was packaged and introduced to us as unquestionable truth, most people still take the Genesis creation story as incontrovertible truth.

Tolexander: is lilith the same as incubus and succubus?

i doubt.
those are not primordial.
they're lesser sex and sexual daemons
