Lilith as the first wife of Adam ?

Question

in the bible it says god created man and woman before it spoke about eve. some people believe that there was a woman before adam call lilith what do you think?

Answer 1

Lilith is in the Apocrypha - one of the books that might have been included in the bible when it was being collected together by scholars a few thousand years ago. God created her first but she was a bit wild, so he started again.

People seem to forget that the bible is a collection of different books chosen by men who sat down and argued about what to include and what to leave out. That was a job done by man, like the writing of the bible. The book we have today might have been any one of hundred of combinations. Check out the Apocrypha.

Answer 2

Lilith, Adam's mythological first wife

According to some :
The Torah states that: God created Adam and a woman. This woman that God created was not a good person. God then created Eve for Adam.

No matter how you understand "Torah" the idea of a wife before Eve DOES NOT OCCUR at all. This idea is a rabbinic tradition and is completely non-Biblical (and I would add, quite anti-Biblical). This first wife is referred to as "Lilith." Lilith up and left Adam, winding up in rabbinic tradition as a baby-killing demoness who seduces sleeping men. Lilith is mentioned in Isa. 34:14, though the KJV renders lilith as 'screech owl.' [Actually, some think this Lilith, this demoness, might have been the "serpent" who tempted Eve.]

Lilith is a female Mesopotamian night demon believed to harm male children. In Isaiah, Lilith (לִילִית, Standard Hebrew Lilith) is a kind of night-demon or animal, translated as onokentauros in the Septuagint, as lamia "witch" by Hieronymus of Cardia, and as screech owl in the King James Version of the Bible. Lilith also appears as a night demon in the Talmud and Midrash. She is often identified as the mother of all incubi and succubi. Late medieval Jewish legend portrays her as the first wife of Adam. Considering Adam inferior, Lilith left the Garden of Eden of her own free will. Adam then bade three angels to find Lilith and bring her back. When Lilith refused, God punished her by commanding that she slay 100 of her children, called Lilin, each day. Lilith is also sometimes considered to be the paramour of Satan.

Answer 3

This is an Apocryphal tale and the early scholars deemed it an extrapolation from mythology and not related to the actual scripture (it is kind of a morality tale). The gist of it is she is unhappy with Adam as a spouse and cries out to be released from the covenant of marriage that is why G-d makes Eve from Adam's side so that she can be on par with him since Lilith was not. It was felt the tale would increase divorce and cause women to leave an unhappy marriage believing it to be approved by G-d.

Answer 4

Adam had only one wife and her name was Eve. God took the rib from Adam and made Eve. lilith is not real, I don't know why people keep saying he had another wife. if that where true Jehovah God would of told us in the bible.

Answer 5

i'm a Muslim, yet i became into raised interior the Church (reverted to Islam). that's greater of a reaction to Hairypotto. Genesis " 27 So God created mankind in his very own photograph, in comparable to God he created them; female and male he created them. 28 God blessed them and mentioned to them, “Be fruitful and advance in quantity; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish interior the sea and the birds interior the sky and over each and every residing creature that strikes on the floor.” Says no longer something approximately Lilith there. no longer something in any respect. in fact, finding by my Bible, i won't be able to locate something with regard to a "Lilith" everywhere. female comes from guy. i think of we are only as equivalent because of the fact without our wombs, men could no longer multiply and Adam might have at last disillusioned Allah (swt) and been removed from the backyard on his very own without young ones to pass on his bloodline. Lilith is a few heathen fantasy.
