Description
In Jewish folklore, from Alphabet of Ben Sira onwards, Lilith becomes Adam 's first wife, who was created at the same time (Rosh Hashanah ) and from the same earth as Adam. This contrasts with Eve , who was created from one of Adam's ribs. The legend was greatly developed during the Middle Ages , in the tradition of Aggadic midrashim , the Zohar , and Jewish mysticism .[3] For example, in the 13th century writings of Rabbi Isaac ben Jacob ha-Cohen, Lilith left Adam after she refused to become subservient to him and then would not return to the Garden of Eden after she coupled with the archangel Samael .[4] The resulting Lilith legend is still commonly used as source material in modern Western culture, literature, occultism , fantasy, and horror.
