Lilith: Adam's first wife whom Christianity removed from the Bible

Lilith, often referred to as Adam's first wife, is a figure shrouded in mystery and controversy. While her story is not found in the canonical texts of Christianity, she has continued in various mythologies and non-canonical texts.

In this article, we'll delve into the enigmatic tale of Lilith, exploring her origins, her alleged removal from biblical accounts, and the lasting legacy of her character.

The origin of Lilith

The roots of the figure of Lilith can be traced back to ancient Mesopotamian mythology.

In these texts, she is depicted as a powerful female demon who embodies chaos and rebellion against male dominance. Lilith is associated with the night, fertility and sexuality, and she is often portrayed as seductive.

Lilith also appears in Jewish folklore, where she is believed to have been Adam's first wife before Eve.

According to some accounts, Lilith refused to submit to Adam and left the Garden of Eden. As a result, she was demonized and condemned as a dangerous temptress.

Although the story of Lilith is not present in the canonical texts of Christianity, some non-canonical texts and medieval Christian literature mention her existence. These writings often depict Lilith as a symbol of sin, temptation, and rebellion against divine authority.
The Absence of Lilith in the Christian Scriptures

Një nga arsyet e mungesës së Lilithit nga shkrimet e krishtera është procesi i kanonizimit, ku tekste specifike u zgjodhën për të formuar kanunin zyrtar biblik.

Historia e Lilith nuk përputhej me objektivat teologjike dhe doktrinore të udhëheqësve të hershëm të krishterë, duke çuar në përjashtimin e saj.

Margjinalizimi i historisë së Lilith-it mund t'i atribuohet gjithashtu interpretimeve patriarkale të teksteve biblike.

The emphasis on male authority and the subjugation of women within Christian traditions led to the suppression of alternative narratives that challenged traditional gender roles.
The selective interpretation of biblical passages further contributed to the exclusion of Lilith.
Several verses that could have been interpreted as referring to Lilith were reinterpreted or omitted altogether to support the prevailing narrative of Eve as Adam's only wife.
