Bible Question: has any one ever heard of the name of a women Lillith in connection with Adam in the bible? |
Bible Answer: Dear foreverfriends, I could not find this in any Bible translation I had here at home. (I will try again at my office tomorrow) According to Encarta: 1. predecessor to Eve: in Hebrew Scripture, the first woman, believed to have been created before Eve 2. evil spirit of a woman: in Jewish folklore, an evil spirit of a woman, believed to lurk in deserted places and attack children Another commentary on Jewish tradition speaks of Lilith as being the *first* created woman of Genesis 1:27 "And God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them." This is supposedly a separate event of the *dual* record of Adam's second partner, Eve, in Genesis 2:20-23. Few seem to take this seriously, and usually consider it a merely a folk tale.
