I think it’s a weak explanation for the apparant contradiction between the initial Yahwist creation narrative at Genesis 2:4 where Adam proceeded most animals and his “helper” and the subsequent 6-day Priestly narrative at 1:1 where man and woman were created at the same time on the sixth day.
Yes, the chronological order of the stories is reversed, according to most scholars. Lilith isn’t in sacred scripture (unless you could words based on other forms of the origin of the name, but that’s a stretch). She appears in post-second temple Jewish folklore (read: after Christianity branched off Judaism) if that’s of any significance to you.
Now we’re getting somewhere! But if God knows everything, how come he couldn’t create the same thing consistently? How come he couldn’t forsee that the first method wouldn’t work?
Lilith was created from mud like Adam, and refused to be subservient to him, so Eve was made from Adam as a replacement
Where’s the chapter and verse of Lilith being Adams wife?
