There are two instances of the word Luhith in the Bible, but the search for Lilith returned no results. What is it?

Isn't Lilith from Chronicles of Narnia? Supposedly Adam's first wife?

Dunno about from the Chronicles of Narnia, but you are right. She was supposed to be Adam's first wife. Genesis says nothing about her, nor did she ever exist. Adam's first wife and probably only wife was Eve.

I didn't find it in the book, but I found it here in a review: "The Witch obviously represents Satan/all that is evil and repeats several Christian myths in her makeup; she's Lilith, the lost wife of Adam, a seduction sent by the devil, or the "treachery" of Eve, here remade as the White Witch's seduction of Edmund with the candy Turkish Delight." www.popmatters.com/tv/reviews/c/chronicles-of-narnia-tv-dvd.shtml |

So C.S. Lewis incorporated this myth of "Lilith" in his books?   |

I guess. Jadis is supposed to be Lilith in the allegorical side of things. Lewis did incorperate some strange beliefs into Narnia. Emeth, for instance. He's in the Last Battle. He followed Tash all his life and then gets into Aslan's Country.

Yeah.....I always wondered if he was a representation of the 'ignorant' peoples of the O.T. ( the ones who God "winked" at their ignorance, as it says in the Bible) But that's not the context of the Last Battle. I guess C.S. Lewis had some different beliefs  |

He who seeks me truly finds me. Remember that once Emeth SAW Aslan, he believed?
