Early Genesis

My interest in Genesis started with conversations with a strict Christian friend, who has a very literal interpretation of the Bible.  I had been studying Hebrew with the local rabbi, and decided to take a look at what the Hebrew said.  Personally I find a literal reading of the English translation very limiting and disappointing.  The Hebrew when read as more of a symbolic allegory is way more beautiful.

Lilith

Lilith was the old rabbis answer as to why the Hebrew of Genesis reads in regards to the creation of Adam.  It reads that G-d created them male and female.  This was well before any mention of Eve.  Rather than say that Adam was a hermaphrodite they created the female character of Lilith, and she was trouble.  Her name comes from the Hebrew word for night.  She ended up being expelled before Eve was created.  She became sort of a demon in Jewish folklore.  She was associated with the night of course and owls.  Some Jewish groups also believed that Lilith resided in mirrors, where she would wait to steal the souls of young women when they looked in the mirrors.

This is a proof of my first encounter with sugar lift solution.

I could be mistaken, but I think I was trying out salt lift on this one.
