Since Lilith is believed to be part of the creation story according to Judaism?

Question

Why is she not found in the Bible we have today if it is supposedly inerrant and complete? Do Jews have a different OT than Christians?

Answer 1

It was part of Jewish Midrash (rabbinical writings to explain the scriptures from the 10th century)to explain the two differing creation stories in Genesis. Lilith (the creationist Lilith) was never part of the bible she was taken from Jewish mythology. The only Lilth in the bible is still in Isaiah 34:14 Wildcats shall meet with desert beasts, satyrs shall call to one another; There shall the lilith repose, and find for herself a place to rest.

This along with various other Lilith legends became the Lilth in creationism that ran away and became the mother of demons.

And everyone who is talking about Lilith and the Catholics.
1. Catholics never have believed in the Lilth legend. She is all Jewish
2. Lilith does not appear in the "Apocrypha" books. BTW the real designation of those books is Deutrocanonical.

Answer 2

convinced. Days, evening and morning: God began the trend that we use--He worked in the time of day, then got here evening and then morning--24 hours. Animals did not die before Adam. Sin got here before demise. Exodus 20:11says God created the heavens, earth and each and everything contained in the earth in six days. So fossils weren't contained in the earth on the time of creation. maximum fossils were deposited in the course of the Flood. i'm no longer in touch about contradictions between present day fashions and the Bible. technology will seize up. because the former adage is going, scientists climb mountains purely to locate theologians already sitting on proper. Genesis a million supplies an afternoon-through-day order of creation. Genesis 2 variations concentration to the starting up of the tale of human historic past. No contradiction, only a zoom to guy's tale.

Answer 3

Lilith is Rabbinical lore. It is how they explained the discrepancies in the Genesis story. There is a place where it says man and woman were created together and another that says Eve was formed from Adam's rib. To justify this, it was decided that Adam had a wife previous to Eve. Remember, Jews were not always monotheists. YHWH was once one of many. His cult gained popularity, but signs of earlier times remain in stories like Lilith's.

Answer 4

Because the Lillith story is considered apocryphal even by most Jews, there are certain oral traditions that still include it but for the most part in modern Judaism and Christianity it is considered to be a questionable addition at best and as such is usually ignored.

Interesting story, though.

Answer 5

Isaiah 34:14 mentions Lilith (often translated as screech-owl).

Answer 6

Lillith is part of the verbal tradition handed down through the ages of Judaism.
As with many of the Apochraphyl books of the Bible, the topic of Lillith is no where else supported in sacred texts, therefore the stories are deemed to be unreliable or the result of Jewish mysticism that had crept in in ancient days; and therefore, not included in the Bible.

Answer 7

No. She was added by the Catholics from some esoteric Jewish writings. Some of those writings taught that Enoch became Meta tron (and thus vicariously the Son of God).

We trust the Word of God in its totality as God has revealed it.

Answer 8

Isn't Lilith from the Lion, Witch, and Wardrobe? Or Beowulf?

Answer 9

because there was no Lilith. and even if there was, whoever added her in the story of creation or took her out is going to be judged. God has a law about that.

Answer 10

Adam only had one wife Eve who was created from his rib. lilith is not real and I don't know why people keep saying that he was married to anyone else.
