Default Where Credit Is Due

"DSK" wrote
I'm also curious about where the Book of Genesis mentions Lillith.


IIRC neither the Book of Genesis found in xian bibles nor the Pentateuch
mentions Lillith (You'll have to look to their precursors). That's
understandable. Remember, very ancient peoples and even some fairly modern
ones (eg Australian Aboriginies) had yet to discover the male role in
procreation and instead believed the female spontaniously created life.
Hence their primary gods were female and their societies matrilineal. The
change to patriarchal gods and societies was still underway when the Hebrew
version that became the basis of Genesis was redacted from earlier creation
myths so Lillith became a demon vs a goddess.

Read the examples I offered to Jeff.
