Eve's predecessor, in the Talmud (6)

I believe the answer is:

lilith

(Other definitions for lilith that I've seen before include "Witch" , "In Jewish myth, Adam's first wife before Eve" , "In some sources she was the first wife of Adam" , "Adam's first wife? - Frasier Crane's second ex-wife" , "In Jewish folklore, Adam's first wife before Eve" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
