The legend of Lilith is believed to be in the creation account of Genesis. According to Genesis 1:26-27, Elohim creates man and woman together: “So God created mankind in the divine image, male and female God created them.” According to Jewish mythology, this created being was androgynous, male and female together. Elohim then split them into two parts which leads to the idea of ‘soul mates.’ The male is Adam; the female is Lilith.
