Adam, Lilith, and then Eve.?

Question

I know Lilith was Adams first wife, but why exactly did she have to go?

Answer 1

The people taht believe in lilith say she was adams wife but wouldn't acept her subserviant role as a woman and felt she should be adam's equal so she was kicked out of paradice and eve was made to replace her.

In other words.... God and Adam felt women where inferior to men and lilith didn't agree so they banished her.

Ether that or god and adam felt that way and litlith got sick of it and left....

forgot wich way it was .... ether way it was all becose of they way they felt women should be treated.

Answer 2

Lilith is the first wife of Adam only in some un-orthodox Christian(Gnostic) and Jewish mystic doctrine that really didn't take shape until the middle ages. Genesis has no mention of Lilith. The old reference to her in the Hebrew Bible is as a "she-demon" in Isaiah.

Answer 3

Zohar 3:19
Come and see: There is a female, a spirit of all spirits, and her name is Lilith, and she was at first with Adam. And in the hour when Adam was created and his body became completed, a thousand spirits from the left [evil] side clung to that body until the Holy One, blessed be He, shouted at them and drove them away. And Adam was lying, a body without a spirit, and his appearance was green, and all those spirits surrounded him. In that hour a cloud descended an pushed away all those spirits. And when Adam stood up, his female was attached to his side. And that holy spirit which was in him spread out to this side and that side, and grew here and there, and thus became complete. Thereafter the Holy One, blessed be He, sawed Adam into two, and made the female. And He brought her to Adam in her perfection like a bride to the canopy. When Lilith saw this, she fled. And she is in the cities of the sea, and she is still trying to harm the sons of the world. (Patai81:455)

Answer 4

Lilith was created the same way Adam was -- directly from dirt and the Breath of Life. Thus, she refused to play a subordinate role to Adam, insisting instead that she should be his equal. For this she was cast out and transubstantiated into a demon.

This is the real reason why masterbation is forbidden -- it is believed according to the Talmud that Lilith gathers the spilled seed and uses it to impregnate herself and create demons with it.

Answer 5

where in God word do you find Adam was married to Lilith? Eve was created by God and was Adam's first and only wife.

Answer 6

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.[citation needed]

Answer 8

Lillith was a myth. I don't know when she was created, but she is used to show what not being subserviant will get you. Appearantly, she was Adam's first wife and wanted to be on top. She was banished and became a monster. She doesn't appear in the bible or any other ancient writings that I know of. She is mostly a more modern scare story or one used to point out that men are really dominating and evil. At the earliest, she came about in the middle ages.

Answer 9

What is your basis for saying that Lilith was Adam's first wife?

Answer 10

Lillith was a dark, fairy-tale character, supposedly the first wife of Adam, but not really!

Lillith was actually a Bablyonian demoness who came out at night. Vampirelike, she preyed on babies and children. She was said to have owl-like consorts, and was supposedly the mother of succubus and incubus demons.

How this character became "involved" with the Adam and Eve story I don't know. A further evaluation of Babylonian mythology would seem to be in order. It may have been through contact with the Jewish/Babylonian cultures, prior to the beginning of the Jewish exile to Babylon under Nebuchanezzer.

According to the "story", Lillith (a demon or "djinn") would not submit to Adam sexually. She wanted to be dominant, and not getting the power she wanted, she left the Garden of Eden (abandoning her "husband") willingly. When Adam tried to get her to come back, she told him off, and was cursed to bear demons for eternity. She was also cursed to kill these demon offspring.

Weird story. It doesn't appear in the Bible at all.
