No.
She is part of the Kabbalah/Qabalah and other 'secret' Jewish writings. I believe she is referred to in the Koran/Qu'ran, too.
But not in the "Old Testament", and certainly not in the "New".

The observe 'lilith' looks in Isaiah, yet as a wild creature of the evening -- at times that's translated as 'screech owl'. there's no connection with the legendary tale you point out interior the bible. References to Lilith as a demoness could pass decrease back to early Babylonian legends, yet it is conjecture which no person has been waiting to coach. the story of Lilith as Adam's first spouse grew to become into first written down in on the subject of the 10th century interior the "Alphabet of Ben Sira" and tries to reconcile a biblical 'contradiction': in Genesis a million, it says God created 'female and male' mutually, yet in Genesis 2 it says God created Adam first, and Eve afterwards, from a rib of Adam. The 10th century tale claims that the 1st spouse grew to become into Lilith. 3 hundred years later, yet another author created the thought Lilith left Adam, after refusing to be subordinate to him, and mated with the angel Samael rather, giving delivery to a race of evening demons. the two a form of inventors have been Jewish rabbis, not Christians, yet Christians liked the story too.

No, Lilith is not mentioned in the scriptures. She appears only in a Hebrew story that is an obvious satire of the creation events in Genesis 1 and 2. (Very similar to Mark Twains satire of Adam and Eve - and about as believeable).

Lilith is a confabulation of those who are trying to rectify the fact that there are two conflicting creation stories in Genesis, one beginning in Genesis 1:1, the second beginning at Genesis 2:4b. In the first one, the world begins as covered with water ("and God moved over the face of the waters") and the second with the world as dry, and then covered with mist. In the first, human beings were created last. In the second, Adam was created then the plants, etc.
Some who are trying to turn these two stories into one have speculated that Lilith was Adam's first wife, who supposedly abandoned him. According to Wikipedia, late medieval Jewish legend portrays her as the first wife and equal of Adam. Considering Adam inferior, Lilith left the Garden of Eden of her own free will. She is also portrayed as a demon in Isaiah 34:14, where the Hebrew word "lilit" is variously translated:
screech owl ((KJV)
night-owl (Young, 1898)
night monster (ASV 1901, NASB 1995)
night hag (RSV 1947)
night creature (NIV 1978, NKJV 1982, NLT 1996)
nightjar (New World Translation, 1984)
vampires (Moffatt Translation, 1922)

No. I have yet to come across any mention of her her in any writings I've read. I think the first time she is mentioned was in the middle ages, and she's become an icon for feminists as "proof" of how religion is male-dominated (I know of a few branches of christianity that are very female-dominated that might have something to say about that). She is supposedly mentioned in Jewish writings, but I haven't found that either.

Fraser Crane's wife? No.
Lilith is a completely separate legend to anything written in the Bible.
- luvwinzLv 41 decade ago
Nope. Lilith was found in ancient Hebrew texts that were often thought to be satirical in nature. For that reason, very few people take that story seriously.
- Marvin RLv 71 decade ago
not in any of the translations I have ever read as this story was based upon a satire which some thought to take seriously

No, lilith is a legend. The Bible is truth.
