The figure of Lilith was adopted and transformed by the Jews during their captivity in Babylon, to the point of putting Lilith as Adam's first wife, as say the Hebrew writings of Ben Sirah (X century midrash) to say: "Yahweh created Lilith, the first woman, as he created Adam, earth and dust."
A similar statement suggesting that Adam and Lilith were created from clay is clear from the Hebrew Torah: "Woman and Man, He created them."
Both fragments from Jewish sacred writings show a Lilith created in the image and likeness of Yahweh and endowed with the same capabilities as Adam, but what happened to Lilith was replaced by Eva as indicated by the Hebrew writings and ignore the biblical texts? The apocryphal gospels and the writings of Yalqut Reubeni give us the key: "Adam and Lilith never found peace together, for when he wanted to sleep with her, Lilith refused, considering that the reclined position he demanded was offensive to her. Why do I have to lie down under you - ask - I was also made of dust and, therefore, I am your equal. We are made equal and we must do the same. "
differences with Adam and his refusal to stand on during sex Lilith, Lilith sparked the flight of the Paradise of the way it is. Lilith invoked the sacred name of Yahweh who, giving it wings, let him fly away from Paradise and definitely away from Adam. But how did Lilith know the sacred name of Yahweh, when he was not even revealed to Moses, to whom Yahweh is presented as "I am who I am. Here is what you will say to the children of Israel: Whoever is sent me to you ? Some authors such as Robert Graves points out that Yahweh was seduced by the beauty and the seductive power Lilith, although the Hebrew writings make no mention in this regard.
Loneliness encourages Adam to seek the help of Yahweh: "Lord of the World, have been abandoned by you put to help me." mourn for Adam's helpless, Yahweh sent the archangels Senoy, Samangelof Sansenoy and the search for Lilith. But Lilith, installed in the Red Sea, where she lived with lascivious demons having come to breed hundreds of children Lilims half-human, half-demons refused to return to the Garden of Eden, saying: "I'd rather throw myself into the Red Sea before to return to Paradise and submit to Adam. " Archangels, confused, respond to the orders of Yahweh: "If you go back to Adam hundred of your children die every day" . She responded the same way: "Kill the sons of men, children are under the danger of my anger for eight days after birth and girls of twenty" . Archangels Lilith stopped pressuring and vowed not to harm any child who carries the picture or the names of these three angels. This seems to arise the origin of the Jewish amulets placed on the neck of newborns.
caracteríticas Some of the Hebrew Lilith and profiles we have seen in Sumerian, Assyrian and mainly Greek, where it already appears as a lustful being nocturnal and feeding on the blood of newborns, however, the continuing evolution of Lilith in the biblical writings. The contradictions of Genesis, the appearance of references to Eve and Lilith in the Old Testament will be discussed in the next entry in the Race of Lilith.
