Wow. the Zohar is a headache! I can’t make heads or tails of half of it.

Warning… spoiler alert?

Zohar 1:19b (Beresheet: Passages 98-101)
  98 And Elohim said let there be me’orot (lights) in the expanse of heaven (Ge 1:14).  Me’orot is spelled deficiently as me’erat (meaning to curse), thus diphtheria was created for children.  After the radiance of primordial light was treasured away, a shell was created for the kernel (of light).  That shell expanded, generating another shell.  Emerging, she ascended and descended, arriving at the small faces.  She desired to cling to them, be portrayed in them, and never depart.  The bless Holy One separated her form there, bringing her down below when he created Adam, so that this would be perfected in this world. 
 99 As soon as she saw Eve cleaving to the side of Adam, beauty above, as soon as she saw the complete image, she flew away, desiring as before to cleave to the small faces.  Those guardians of the gates on high did not allow her.  The blessed Holy One rebuked her and cast her to the bottom of the sea.
     100 She dwelled there until Adam and his wife sinned.  Then the blessed Holy One plucked her form there, and she rules over all those children – small faces of humanity – who deserve to be punished for the sins of their fathers.  She flies off, roaming through the world.  Approaching the earthly Garden of Eden, she sees cherubs guarding the gates of the Garden, and she dwells there by that flaming sword (Ge 3:24), for she emerged from the side of that flame. 
     101 As the flame revolves she flees and roams the world, finding children who deserved to be punished.  She toys with them and kills them.  This happens in the waning of the moon, whose light diminishes; this is me’orot (lights) deficient.

apparently some people get from these passages that Liliths body was created by God (Elohim) but it was Samael who gave her the breath of life… Not shore I see it, but I liked the interpretation, so I used it…
