I also hear she's a super sexy top.
It's estimated that it would take about 160 people to perpetuate the species.

Lilith left Adam after she refused to become subservient to him and then would not return to the Garden of Eden

All Hail Lilith, The sacred mother of Feminism

She became the first demon. The first example of the Bible literally demonizing women.
Sort of but not really. Lilith isn't in the biblical version of Adam and Eve. There might be one mention of Lilith in and unrelated story in Isaiah, or it might be an old Hebrew word for screech owl.
The connection to Adam comes from folktales and fanfics written 1,000 years later. In terms of biblical tradition, she's closer to Steve than Adam.
The Bible does a fine job of demonizing women, starting with Eve. But Christians don't need a scriptural reason to demonize something they can't control.
1000 years after what? Adam?
Good point, I meant 1000 years after the ecumenical councils established what books would be included in the Bible.
But you're right, Genesis and Isaiah are old testament, much older than the Bible.

That's the reason my wife and I named our daughter Lilith.
She's not taking anyone's shit.
Couldn't God just create more humans after the first three? Is it certain that he creates 3 and then explicitly stops?
how many ribs do you think adam has?
So, what a lot of people don't realize is a large percentage of the Bible is just lineages.
He apparently did. Cain was sent east of Eden to the Land of Nod where he found a wife.
Eve had two sons. Cain found a wife "somewhere". Cain was also marked so no one would kill him, but the three other people known to exist were his parents and dead brother.
Cain found a wife in the Land of Nod. It's never explained where those people came from.
Genesis 5:4. Eve had three named sons (Cain, Abel and Seth), but also other sons and daughters. That would be where Cain found his wife.
But he was cursed and went East, presumably to another tribe? Need to read Genisis again.
LOL, the two creation myths confused me as well. That's another interesting tale to take apart.
I don't. There are far more interesting fictional character to talk about.
