Was Lilith Adam's first wife?

Answer 1

Eve was Adam's (pbuh) wife.

Answer 2

Depends on your belief.
According to some, Lilith was adams first wife, not willing to be ruled over by Adam she fled the garden of eden, adam went crying to god, so god sent 3 angels, sanvi, sansanvi and semangelaf (I think thats the spelling) to get her. They kill 100 of her children a day, unless she returns to the garden of eden and to adam.
Its a really cool story, if you look at all the demons that fit the Lilith story, it creates a great story line. Because of Adams oppressive behaviour he cursed all humanity, to suffer at the hands of Lilith.
That is not a beleif accepted by all, just like her going on into Hell to become the wife of Lucifer, and queen of hell.

Answer 3

Lilith was not His wife,a partner yes,Lilith was a Succubus a
female demon,She was not human,She would not allow Adam
to think he could be equal to her.It is said when she left Adam she would kill babies,many say She still does.Succubus are
very real they still take humans for sex,I assure you this is not fun,they are dangerous demonic beings.

Answer 4

according to some yes
i think this is an old Jewish story about genesis and some old scriptures were written about it
Lilith was made from dirt the same as Adam and an equal to Adam
and Adam was not a happy bunny as Lilith became more dominant
so Adam asked God for a better model

Answer 5

Not quite... ADM never saw Her. It is from the Dead Sea Scrolls... not the Qabala as somebody said... what is the Qabala? it isn't a text. Qabala means something handed down. Officially Qabala is the schematic representation of the Sepher Yetzirah...

Answer 6

if you're a believer of the Bible:

if its not in the Bible then its not true.

Lilith as the first wife was never mentioned in the Bible(though lilith was mentioned in the Bible), just as gospels like the book of Enoch, the book of Thomas, the book of Judas are not in it. Im not saying they're totally wrong, but that they're not in the Bible.

Answer 7

That comes from the Jewish book of mysticism called the Kaballa.

Actually Eve's original name in Hebrew is Esha--meaning woman. After the fall--Her name became Eve--meaning the mother of all living.

Answer 8

Passages from the Kaballah teachings:

The Matron Lilith is the mate of Samael. Both of them were born at the same hour in the image of Adam and Eve, intertwined in each other. Asmodeus the great king of the demons has as a mate the Lesser (younger) Lilith, daughter of the king whose name is Qafsefoni. The name of his mate is Mehetabel daughter of Matred, and their daughter is Lilith....

And the Serpent, the Woman of Harlotry, incited and seduced Eve through the husks of Light which in itself is holiness. And the Serpent seduced Holy Eve, and enough said for him who understands. An all this ruination came about because Adam the first man coupled with Eve while she was in her menstrual impurity -- this is the filth and the impure seed of the Serpent who mounted Eve before Adam mounted her. Behold, here it is before you: because of the sins of Adam the first man all the things mentioned came into being. For Evil Lilith, when she saw the greatness of his corruption, became strong in her husks, and came to Adam against his will, and became hot from him and bore him many demons and spirits and Lilin. (Patai81:455f)

Lilith the wife of Adam

A medieval reference to Lilith as the first wife of Adam is the anonymous The Alphabet of Ben-Sira, written sometime between the 8th and 11th centuries.

Genesis 2:18: After God created Adam, who was alone, He said, 'It is not good for man to be alone.' He then created a woman for Adam, from the earth, as He had created Adam himself, and called her Lilith. Adam and Lilith immediately began to fight. She said, 'I will not lie below,' and he said, 'I will not lie beneath you, but only on top. For you are fit only to be in the bottom position, while I am to be the superior one.' Lilith responded, 'We are equal to each other inasmuch as we were both created from the earth.' But they would not listen to one another. When Lilith saw this, she pronounced the Ineffable Name and flew away into the air. (In this act, Lilith becomes unique in that she is not touched by Original Sin, having left the garden before Eve came into existence. Lilith also reveals herself to be powerful in her own right by knowing the name of God).

Adam stood in prayer before his Creator: 'Sovereign of the universe!' he said, 'the woman you gave me has run away.' At once, the Holy One, blessed be He, sent these three angels Senoy, Sansenoy, and Semangelof, to bring her back. "Said the Holy One to Adam, 'If she agrees to come back, fine. If not, she must permit one hundred of her children to die every day.' The angels left God and pursued Lilith, whom they overtook in the midst of the sea, in the mighty waters wherein the Egyptians were destined to drown. They told her God's word, but she did not wish to return. The angels said, 'We shall drown you in the sea.'

"'Leave me!' she said. 'I was created only to cause sickness to infants. If the infant is male, I have dominion over him for eight days after his birth, and if female, for twenty days.' "When the angels heard Lilith's words, they insisted she go back. But she swore to them by the name of the living and eternal God: 'Whenever I see you or your names or your forms in an amulet, I will have no power over that infant.' She also agreed to have one hundred of her children die every day. Accordingly, every day one hundred demons perish, and for the same reason, we write the angels names on the amulets of young children. When Lilith sees their names, she remembers her oath, and the child recovers."

Lilith then went on to mate with Samael and various other demons she found beside the Red Sea, creating countless lilin.

Sorry for the copy/paste technique but it didn't look as though you got your answer above.

Answer 9

Yep. She wouldn't submit to him (she believed she should be his equal) and turned herself into a serpent (yep, that one) to get away from him.

Answer 10

Eve was his only wife... at least according to my bible
