[@eyalm867]

I should explain that, I've got a friend irl named Lilith.

[@uhh-amit]

as a jewish person and a hebrew speaker, i would like to say 2 things: 1) kind of funny that you didn't mention that lilith's name literally translates to "of the night [fem]" which is the source for much of the reasoning that she is a creature of the night, likely a type of owl. 2) i cannot overstate how little lilith matters to most jews. she is very elevated in her status by kabbalists, beforehand demonology in judaism was very minor and niche. lilth is obviously very interesting because she is shrouded in so much mystery, but much of this mystery is straight up jewish disinterest. to be clear, while most gentiles hear a lot about the kabbalah, it is a small subsection in judaism, that very few dwell in.

[@shawnnbits]

Damn are jews are boring

[@Barakon]

I only learned of Lilith thanks to online videos like that of Trey the explainer. Btw…does this connect with all of the cryptids that ended up just being owls?

He did mention though. It was on screen.

[@TheAp397]

liths fuckin cool tho

[@mercy8370]

But he did mention it when he was talking about the translations of the word Lillith. And even if jews don't care about Lilith he is talking about it because that's where she originated. very respectfull of him.

[@DrunkenDarkSoul]

the story Ive always heard about the rib of Adam for Eve is... * Not a skull to rule over the body of man Not a Foot bone to be stepped upon. Not a hand bone to take arms. A RIB. a rib to be to ones side, a rib near the heart, a rib connected to the pillar (spine) to stand strong, a rib to be protected by arms in time of need. * I pretty sure its not cannon, but Its what Ive grown up hearing (my Background: Rural Mexican catholic seasoned and spiced with native meso-american stories)

[@mysryuza]

That’s a better meaning to the rib context than the “oh it means you’re subservient to men now” stuff imo

[@pindropquiet9732]

Rib is a mistranslation it’s usually “part or half” that’s a more direct translation

[@KristoferOlafsson]

The “Rib” word can also mean side. Or side of, Or half of. The rib thing did seem to stick and your ribs are on your sides. Not really sure that adds anything. lol.

[@DrunkenDarkSoul]

​@@KristoferOlafsson the rib story was brought up because of lilith beening seen as "rebellious" do to her origin granting her some claim to equal rights as Adam. Getting her booted from Eden & being Adam's main squeeze, yo. Old script writing Men, fearing holy text could give women equal rights so they antagonize older/wiser/rebellious women (like lillith) To potential villainous beings. Leading to the "women created from Rib of Adam" story to sort of say women could not exist if it wasn't for man. (We (man) were here first, hushh up woman) Leading to the apple story to have something over woman to say "we are booted from the divine garden because its collectively woman's fault" and so on story to keep women under foot. Now to prevent young men from treating woman like total trash comes my story....

[@zoldyckz.1144]

​@@DrunkenDarkSoulWhile Eve is seen as the one who originally ate the apple, Adam was responsible for Eve and he defied God as well so Eve AND Adam were both cast from the garden of Eden

[@alarabi98]

In Arabic, Night is Layla, which also seems to have a similar root to the other Semitic roots. So it could refer to night creatures. A grammatically correct way to say Lilith, if it means Night Creatures, is Layliyoun or Layliyyat. Which is very similar.

[@victzegopterix2victorindem895]

@@sadman6180, wtf are you talking about? We have way enough archaeological evidences attesting the worshipping of those gods of before the time when judaism became a monotheism. About Ashurah in particular, found many statuettes of her were found, there's even a ruined jewish temple with shrines to both yhwh and ashurah along with many ancient isrealite godess statues, we even know that in the -VIIth century, so even before monotheism started to become popular, king Joshia led a campaign to stop the worshipping of Ashurah. So what you're saying is more equivalent to "Han Solo never shot first, that is just fanfiction." (couldn't find a better example :^( ). Also what the heck would a fanfiction of an aggregate of books written by multiple people at different times would even mean? Isn't like most of the Torah fanfiction?

I’m not sure if Lilith believe in equality. From what I’m seeing she wanted to be a switch vs Adam who wanted to be a dom. 😂 Unfortunately Eve doesn’t win in neither version. Sexist men blame Eve for being the woman to bring evil into the world. Those who believe in the Lilith version think Eve was made to be submissive to Adam. Though she didn’t become submissive until she ate the apple and that was one of her punishments. Is it feminist to uplift one woman to drag another?

Lilith is also mentioned later with Cain after he's been banished to Nod. She takes him under her wing, I think that is in a literal sense, and looks after him.
