Adam and Eve: Adam's first wife Lilith

TREY the Explainer, 7/16/19; Pat Macpherson, Sheldon S., Dhr. Seven (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly


Who is Lilith? Adam’s first wife?
If the Patriarchs had their way...Barbie
Here is a video discussing the complex ancient history surrounding a biblical character named "Lilith." Let's answer the questions: Who was Lilith? Why is she forgotten? What did she mean to the Bible’s original authors? Get out your Dead Sea Scrolls for this detailed textual analysis of the biblical character. Please fact check what is said, as no expert, at the end of the day, is right all of the time, and Trey is not a bona fide "expert." He's just a guy who reads a lot, so check his sources. Look out for a Part II.
