You might know Lilith as Adam's real first wife who preceded Eve, or maybe as the first vampire, or a succubus. Heck, in The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, Lilith is Satan's Concubine disguised as a high school teacher. But where did the legend of Lilith come from, and what's her real story?
If you read the first few chapters of the book of Genesis in the Bible, you'll notice that there are two accounts of the creation of human beings that are slightly different. The first, in Genesis 1:27, says God created man and woman at the same time, both in his own image. Chapter 2, however, gives the more familiar expanded version where God makes Adam out of the clay and then makes Eve from his rib.
The discrepancy is likely because the Bible's original editors were trying to stitch together different versions of the creation story into one master text. Most Christians simply treat the second version as an expansion of the first. But in the tradition of rabbinic Judaism, it's widely held that these are accounts of two different women - the first being Lilith, and the second being Eve.
So what's Lilith's story?
