Lilith’s “story” was never taken out of the Scriptures, because it was never there to begin with. The legends mostly agree that Lilith was a woman married to Adam before Eve. The stories differ on how she and Adam split up, but most say she refused to let Adam lead her.
This is a myth, and it does not fit what the Scriptures teach. Some people argue that Genesis tells of two separate creations, and that people were made before Adam. They say Genesis 1 tells one creation story and Genesis 2 tells another. But the Scriptures teach that Adam was made from the dust of the ground (Genesis 2:7), and Eve was made from Adam’s rib (Genesis 2:21-22). So if Adam was made in Genesis 2, and another man was made before him in Genesis 1, why does Paul call Adam the first man (1 Corinthians 15:45, 47)? And why is Eve called “the mother of all living” in Genesis 3:20? This myth never had a chance to be part of Scripture. But let’s look at who or what Lilith really is.
In Isaiah 34:14, there is a Hebrew word pronounced “Lilith.” The King James Version translates it as “screech owl”. What is interesting is that Isaiah 34:13-14 also names several animals that are linked to evil spirits, like dragons (Revelation 12:9) and satyrs (Leviticus 17:7). The Dead Sea Scrolls also list “monsters,” and Lilith is one of the creatures named. If Lilith is anything out of the ordinary, it is an evil spirit.
So where did the “Adam’s first wife” tale come from? This part comes from history, not from Scripture. It seems to have shown up as late as a thousand years after the death of the Messiah, in a writing called the “Alphabet of Ben Sira.” Some people thought that writing was meant to be funny or to poke fun at things. In other words, the story started as a joke!
