Is there a Lilith in the Bible?

No, Lilith is not in the Bible as a character, but the Hebrew word lîlît appears once in Isaiah 34:14. Most Bible translations render this as "night creature," "screech owl," or "night-bird," referring to a desert animal in a passage about desolation, not a person. The figure of Lilith as Adam's first wife and a demonic figure comes from later Jewish folklore, particularly medieval texts like the Babylonian Talmud, not the biblical texts themselves.

Where in the Bible do we find Lilith?

Lilith is mentioned only once in the Bible, in Isaiah 34:14, where the Hebrew word "lilit" appears as a "night creature," "night bird," or "screech-owl," referring to a desolate place rather than a specific character in the narrative. While later Jewish folklore, particularly the medieval Alphabet of Ben Sira, developed the legendary figure of Adam's first wife, Lilith, this character is not in the canonical Bible, and the Isaiah reference describes a demonic or animal inhabitant of ruins, not a figure from Genesis.
