Lilith


Hebrew, “of the night.” Genesis 1:27 and 1 Moses 5:10 imply the idea that Adam was married before Eve. In the Bible she is mentioned in Isaiah 34:14, translated into English in many renditions as an owl. Some forms of Lurianic Kabbalah teach that Lilith was created before Adam and that Eve was created later, after Lilith's expulsion from the garden.

The Book of Remembrance does not give an order of the creation or Adam, Eve, and Lilith, but puts all three in the garden when God forbid them from eating from the tree of knowledge of good and evil (see Book of Remembrance 4:11). According to the Book of Remembrance, Lilith was the first to fall to Satan's temptation, and was the serpent that first tempted Adam.

When she failed she fled the garden and became perdition as she would not repent. Later, she tempted Cain to worship Satan and kill his brother.

See 2 Moses 7:7, 20:21; 2 Moses 1:30, 16:21-22, 25:9; 4 Moses 41:7, 13; Zenos 3:9-17; Book of Remembrance 4:14, 5:6:-40; 6:13-14; 7:30, 9:16-17, 20:35, 24:24-25; Doctrines of the Saints 14e:29-30; 2 David 2:11-22.
