Adam’s First Wife
Does the Bible say anything about Adam having another wife before Eve? The legends vary significantly, but they all essentially agree that Lilith left Adam because she did not want to submit to him. According to the legends, Lilith was an evil, wicked woman who committed adultery with Satan and produced a race of evil creatures. None of this is true. There is no biblical basis whatsoever for these concepts. There is no one in the Bible named Lilith. Every other major translation of the Bible reads something to the effect of "night creature" or " screech owl. Whatever the Lilith was, it is not given any connection whatsoever to Adam or Creation.

Who was Lillith? And where did this legend begin? Those questions are tough, but the answer starts in the bible— not with a capital-L Lillith, but with a type of demon, lowercase-L lilliths. Read on… if you dare. The legend of Lillith begins at the beginning, the first chapter of Genesis.
