Part V in a series. The drafter(s) of Genesis, the opening book of The Bible, while unknown, is/are credited with producing one of the most impactful works of fiction ever written. Yet, almost immediately the masterpiece went into immediate revision.
It seems the writer penned in a beautiful Lilith as the first woman created by God, and, we're told, to act as the garden mate for the first man created, Adam.
Apparently, there were some major issues with how the character Lilith was written in, and how she was "created."
First, Lilith was created from the Earth, making her an equal to Adam. Next, she was written as a rebellious, non-conformist, staunchly independent woman, who was not about to play second fiddle to no man, first, second, or last created; and then, there was also a little something about wanting to be on top. (This writer was good! ) She even had the audacity to argue with and refuse the commands of not one, but three Angels sent by God to deal with her "attitude."
But sadly, feisty Lilith, probably in the first revision, probably the target of the first revision, was quickly wished into the cornfield, replaced by a more compliant, more submissive Eve.All Rights Reserved
