This sense of contentment didn’t last long however – almost as soon as Lilith emerged into the world, she began quarreling with Adam. Lilith and Adam QuarrelĪdam was immediately captivated by the beauty of his partner and was thankful to Jehovah for bringing her into existence. She was known to have been perfect in every manner of appearance. Still, despite being made from impure dust, Lilith was the most beautiful woman to have ever been created. Lilith’s terrible attributes and unpleasant disposition is sometimes blamed on this fact. Instead of using pure dust (like what was used with Adam) however, this woman was made from filth and sediment. Jehovah saw that Adam was troubled and decided to answer his prayer by creating woman in the same manner that he had created man. Adam was devastated and complained to Jehovah that every living creature except for himself had a ‘proper mate.’ He implored Jehovah to see his suffering and create a suitable partner for him. He is said to have attempted to mate with every type of female animal but was unable to find a good partner because none of the female creatures had been made specifically for him. When Jehovah sent all the animals he had created before Adam in their male and female pairs so that Adam could name them, the first man quickly became jealous of the love that each animal pairing had. While many religions that descended from Judaism recognize this woman to be Eve in modern day, there are several sources in rabbinic texts that suggest the first woman created for Adam was actually Lilith.
Legend tells us that on the Sixth Day, man and woman were created. In fact, legend tells us that she was originally made to be Adam’s mate and helper. Lilith wasn’t originally created to be such a vile being, however. At times, she is also said to be an evil demoness or a practitioner of witchcraft who was known to cast vile spells onto men and women who worshiped Jehovah. Lilith and Adamĭepending on the source, Lilith is usually portrayed as being a dangerous seductress or a killer of infants. There are several different perspectives of who Lilith is and why she was so dangerous, but all of them involve her hatred towards Adam, Eve, and their descendants. Lilith is known to be the first woman to ever be created according to many rabbinic texts (the source of much Jewish mythology). But who is Lilith? And why did her great thirst for power cause her downfall and destruction? Who is Lilith? This spectacular woman was made to be a mate to Adam, but due to their incompatibility it became necessary for Jehovah to create another helpmate for Adam who was named Eve. One of the most dangerous adversaries to man, however, is also thought to be the most beautiful woman ever created – Lilith. Darkness has long been the enemy of man because of the strange and dangerous creatures that are known to lurk in its shadows.
