According to Jewish lore, Lilith was the first wife of Adam. Although not mentioned directly in the Bible, Lilith has been used to explain the two contradictory versions ofCreationwithin the book ofGenesis. Like Adam, Lilith was created from the dust and the earth, making them equal to one another. When Lilith refused to lie beneath Adam, asserting her equality, Adam insisted that she should perform herwifelyduties.
By refusing to submit, Lilith incurredthe wrath ofGod and fled to the Red Sea, where she was cast from paradise forever andbecame the succubus (a temptress of innocent men), the breeder of evil spirits, and a child-murdering monster of the night. Lilith's defiance of the masculine order forced her to become the ultimate symbol of all that is demonised within the traditional patriarchal society:chaos,seduction, andungodliness.
It is this type of representationof the supposedlyfallen womanthat has contributed to the outdated and entrenched perceptions of femininity. By examining such a defiant figure as Lilith,The (Un)Holy Trinityseeks to draw attention to these dangerous perceptions of powerful women as being shameful, or demonic and to question why these attitudes still persist today.
Please help me to not only question why these dangerous attitudes persit, but to make people aware that they do and how limiting and harmful they can be to both men, women and nonbinary people, but supporting the campaign.
According to Jewish lore, Lilith was the first wife of Adam. Although not mentioned directly in the Bible, Lilith has been used to explain the two contradictory versions of Creation within the book of Genesis
the book of Genesis
The Book of Genesis (from Greek Γένεσις, Génesis; Biblical Hebrew: בְּרֵאשִׁית, romanized: Bərēʾšīṯ, lit. 'In [the] beginning'; Latin: Liber Genesis) is the first book of the Hebrew Bible and the Christian Old Testament.
In rabbinic literature Lilith is variously depicted as the mother of Adam's demonic offspring following his separation from Eve or as his first wife. Whereas Eve was created from Adam's rib (Genesis 2:22), some accounts hold that Lilith was the woman implied in Genesis 1:27 and was made from the same soil as Adam.
Lilith attempted intercourse with Adam before the creation of Eve, and after the creation of Eve she fled and ever after has plotted to kill newborn children. She dwells in the “cities of the sea” and at the end of days God will make her dwell in the ruins of Rome (Tishby).
In case you didn't catch it, at the end of The Chosen episode 1 we discover that the character called Lilith for most of the episode is actually named Mary Magdalene. This passage is one of the few appearances of Mary Magdalene in the Gospels.
The first woman according to the biblical creation story in Genesis 2–3, Eve is perhaps the best-known female figure in the Hebrew Bible. Her prominence comes not only from her role in the Garden of Eden story itself, but also from her frequent appearance in Western art, theology, and literature.
The Lilith myth is the subject of the episode "Lilith: Queen of the Night" from the third season of the Canadian documentary series The Naked Archaeologist. Lilith appears in Hazbin Hotel. She is the ex-wife (first wife) of Adam, the first human, wife of Lucifer, queen of hell, and mother of Charlie.
According to Jewish lore, Lilith was the first wife of Adam. Although not mentioned directly in the Bible, Lilith has been used to explain the two contradictory versions of Creation within the book of Genesis. Like Adam, Lilith was created from the dust and the earth, making them equal to one another.
Out of revenge, Lilith had sex with Adam while he was sleeping and "stole his seed." With his seed she bears 'lilium,' earth-bound demons to replace her children killed by the angels. Lilith is also said to be responsible for males' erotic dreams and night emissions.
Mother of God: Mary, as the mother of Jesus, is the Theotokos (God-bearer), or Mother of God. Virgin birth of Jesus: Mary conceived Jesus by action of the Holy Spirit while remaining a virgin. Perpetual Virginity: Mary remained a virgin all her life, even after the act of giving birth to Jesus.
There is nothing in the Bible that describes what Adam and Eve looked like. In fact, there is very little in the Bible that describes what anyone looks like.
Just like Pandora in ancient Greece, Eve was known as the first woman on earth in Hebrew history. Even the creation of the two women is similar: Pandora was made of earth and water and Eve was from the rib of Adam, the first man on earth, who was in his turn made of clay.
After being driven out of the Garden of Eden and becoming a demon, Lilith gained the ability to shift her feminine form from completely human to a demonic monster. Her more humanoid forms usually has her red eyes, black curved horns and 12 dark angel and devil wings.
Just like Pandora in ancient Greece, Eve was known as the first woman on earth in Hebrew history. Even the creation of the two women is similar: Pandora was made of earth and water and Eve was from the rib of Adam, the first man on earth, who was in his turn made of clay.
As Isaiah 34:14records, "There too Lilith shall repose, and find a place to rest." (NRSV) Why not let Lilith, the sleeping dog, quietly go back to sleep in the pages of ancient Near Eastern and Jewish mythology?
Asmodeus is portrayed differently in different sources but is commonly known as the king of demons. Some scholars have connected his name to the Hebrew word shamad (שמד; "exterminate, annihilate"); others have noted its similarity to the Persian demon, Aeshma Devas (Aēšma daēva) who is associated with wrath.
