According to Legend, Lilith was the first woman made by god, even before Eve. He made her from the earth, just as He had made Adam. Things were going peacefully enough in the garden of Eden, until Adam wanted to "lie" with her. Now, Lilith had eaten the fruits and upon doing so, it took away a veil from her eyes. She saw everything as it really was. And she has seen Adam with wild animals, and she had no desire to be with him, especially to be dominated by him, as she saw herself Adam's equal. Adam didn't understand this, and tried to force himself on her. With that, Lilith left the garden and ran to the Red Sea. God tried to get Lilith to go back to Adam who was lonely again, but she refused. He sent three angels, Sennoi, Sansanui, and Samanguluf after her, telling her that if she still refused to come back to Adam, He would kill one hundred of her children a day. When she heard this, she flew into a rage, and told the angels to tell God that she vowed to inflict harm on male infants until the eigth day of their births, and on females until the twentieth day of their birth. The angels made her promise that whenever she saw an amulet on the child bearing the names of the three angels, she would not inflict harm on them. After all this, God cursed Lilith. Lilith was originally in every myth considered a demoness. After her time in the Red Sea, she decided to travel back to the garden of Eden, and there she saw Eve, who instead of being made of the earth as Adam had been, was made of one of Adam's ribs. When Lilith saw Eve, she felt particularly sorry for her, because Eve was ignorant and didn't know the ways of Adam as he was. Lilith knew about the power of the "Fruit of Knowledge" so she decided to tempt Eve to eat it, so she too could be Adam's equal as well as Lilith. So Lilith turned herself into a snake-like creature and made her way up the tree and began to persuade Lilith to eat the fruit. Eve finally gave in and took a bite out of the apple, causing all the trouble that came afterwards! And I'm not going to go into all of that! It's too long, and you all basically know the story. Anyways, God damned Lilith again, and she has forever since been seen as a demon, vampire, whatever.
Some say the God created man and woman in His own image on the Sixth Day, giving them charge over the world, but that Eve did not yet exist. Now, God had set Adam to name every beast, bird and other living thing. When they passed before him in pairs, male and female, Adam --being already like a twenty-year-old man-- felt jealous of their loves, and though he tried coupling with each female creature in turn, found no satisfaction in the act. He therefore cried: "Every creature but I has a proper mate!" and prayed God would remedy this injustice.
God then formed Lilith, the first woman, just as He had formed Adam, except that he used filth and sediment instead of pure dust. From Adam's union with this demoness, and with another like her named Naamah, Tubal Cain's sister, sprang Asmodeus and innumerable demons that still plague mankind. Many generations later, Lilith and Naamah came to Solomon's judgement seat, disguised as harlots of Jerusalem.
Adam and Lilith never found peace together, for when he wished to lie with her, she took offence at the recumbent position he demanded. "Why must I lie beneath you?" she asked. "I also was made from dust, and am therefore your equal." Because Adam tried to compel her obedience by force, Lilith, in a rage, uttered the magic name of God, rose into the air and left him.
Adam complained to God: "I have been deserted by my helpmeet." God at once sent the angels Senoy, Sansenoy and Semangelof to fetch Lilith back. They found her beside the Red Sea, a region abounding in lascivious demons, to whom she bore 'lilim' at the rate of more than one hundred a day. "Return to Adam without delay," the angels said, "or we will drown you!" Lilith asked: "How can I return to Adam and live like an honest housewife, after my stay beside the Red Sea?" "It will be death to refuse!" they answered. "How can I die," Lilith asked again, "when God has ordered me to take charge of all newborn children: boys up to the eighth day of life, that of circumcision; girls up to the twentieth day. None the less, if ever I see your three names or likenesses displayed in an amulet above a newborn child, I promise to spare it." To this they agreed; but God punished Lilith by making one hundred of her demon children perish daily; and if she could not destroy a human infant, because of the angelic amulet, she would spitefully turn against her own.
Some say that Lilith ruled as queen in Zmargad, and again in Sheba; and was the demoness who destroyed Job's sons. Yet she escaped the curse of death which overtook Adam, since they had parted long before the Fall. Lilith and Naamah not only strangle infants but also seduce dreaming men, and one of whom, sleeping alone, may become their victim.
