Lilith is not merely considered "Adam's first wife," but is referenced in a number of other sources. (See the Torah, Pentateuch and Talmud, for example.)
The text you're looking for, however, is the Alphabet of Ben Sira, which is considered the origin of the Lilith-as-first-woman created from male-female. In Genesis the first creation of man is in the likeness of God. He created Male and Female he created them in his own likeness. Genesis 1:27
This creation was not corporeal. The flesh of man was not created at this point. It even states this in The Bible. Adam is created separate from the first female in Genesis 2:7 and man became a living soul. This creation is formed from the dust of ground mixed with the mist that rose.
Out of the ground were created two trees. One good for food called "Tree of Life" and the other called "Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil". It also had food but was not to be eaten of. Therefore: Two males and two females were created. The first female is named Lilith. The second, Eve. The story of Lilith not wanting to lye beneath Adam is not correct. Makeing love has nothing to do with lying beneath.
Do a little home work for ones self. Find this truth for yourself. That is the most important thing in life. Deception has guided your innerself. The truth and light is yelling to break free.

∙ 13y agoIsaiah 34:14 is considered to be a probable reference to Lilith, although the King James Bible translates her name as "screech owl", thus removing an embarrassing reference: "The wild beasts of the desert shall also meet with the wild beasts of the island, and the satyr shall cry to his fellow; the screech owl [or Lilith] also shall rest there, and find for herself a place of rest."
The Dead Sea Scrolls contain references to Lilith, for example 4Q510 fragment 1 says, "And I, the Instructor, proclaim His glorious splendour so as to frighten and to te[rrify] all the spirits of the destroying angels, spirits of the bastards, demons, Lilith, ..."
The idea of Lilith as Adam's first wife seems to have arisen early in the common era, because Genesis chapter 1 has man, both male and female, created before chapter 2 refers to the creation of Adam. Alphabet of Ben Sira, usually dated between the eighth and tenth centuries CE, is considered to be the oldest extant written form of the story of Lilith as Adam's wife.

Was Lilith married to Adam before eve was created?
there is no record of a human lilith in the canonized bible we use today. however other texts like the life of adam and eve which was dismissed as a hypocrisy by the catholic church mention lilith being adam's first wife and the mother of all demons. however the only lilith mentioned in the canonized bible is a screech owl. the book that mentions lilith is called the life of adam and eve and is a apocryphal book of the bible. some of these books were widespread but the catholic church (creators of modern Christianity) thought that they were hypocrisies or too outrageous or incomplete to be included in the canonized bible (66 known and preserved books) some of them were only found after the cannon was completed or created after Christ's time.
What evidence is there that Lilith Adam's supposed first wife existed?
A: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. There is no evidence that either Lilith or Adam ever existed. Lilith is probably based on the Babylonian demoness, Lilitu. There may be one reference to Lilith in the Old Testament. Some believe the original Hebrew word in Isaiah 34:14 should rendered as "Lilith", instead of the customary "screech owls".
