So I guess Eve was Adam's second wife. I always wondered what happened to his first wife.

Lilith was Adam's first wife, and his wife after he ditched Eve when they were kicked out of Eden.

Quote:
In Genesis 1 living things appear in a specific order; plants, then animals, then finally man and woman are made simultaneously on the sixth day: “Male and female He created them” (Genesis 1:27). In this version of human origins, man and woman (“humankind” in the New Revised Standard Version) are created together and appear to be equal. In Genesis 2, however, man is created first, followed by plants, then animals and finally woman. She comes last because in the array of wild beasts and birds that God had created, “no fitting helper was found” (Genesis 2:20). The Lord therefore casts a deep sleep upon Adam and returns to work, forming woman from Adam’s rib.

I kinda think Exodus 21:7 is fun. From the King James bible:
Quote:
And he that curseth his father, or his mother, shall surely be put to death.

In fact, Exodus and Leviticus are chock full of twisted depraved, cruel, viscious, and sexually perverted things. Gotta love the Bible. The last porn-torture-horror book allowed in public schools.
