According to midrashic literature, Eve was not Adam's first wife. His first wife was Lilith, who left him because during sexual intercourse Adam would not let her be on top. God sent three angels after her, Snwy, Snsnwy and Smnglf. They threatened her with the daily death of one hundred of her children if she did not return to Adam, but she refused and suffered the threatened punishment. Thenceforth, she attacked the newborn children of others.
This legend of Lilith merges with an earlier legend of Sumero-Babylonian origin, dating from around 3,500 BCE, of Lilitu as a winged female demon who kills infants and endangers women in childbirth.
There may be at least one reference to Lilith in the Old Testament. In the Darby translation of Isaiah 34:14 the original Hebrew word is rendered as "Lilith", instead of "screech owls".
