In myth, 9 is significant in Norse mythology, where there are nine worlds connected by Yggdrasil, the world tree.
The 4,000-year-old Sumerian epic poem Gilgamesh describes Lilith (there called Lillake) as building a house in a huluppu or willow tree that had grown on the banks of the Euphrates River since the days of Creation.
The tree had been cultivated by the mother goddess Inanna (or Ishtar), who wanted to make herself a throne and a bed from its wood.
However, to her dismay, a dragon had nested at the base of the tree, and a Zu-bird (another Sumerian storm demon) had placed its young in the highest branches.
The hero Gilgamesh, seeking to rescue the tree for the goddess, slew the dragon with a bronze axe, whereupon the Zu-bird fled with its young into the mountains, and a terrified Lilith tore down her house and escaped into the desert.
The "Huluppu Tree" story is found in a fragmentary text that is often considered an appendix or related tale to the "Epic of Gilgamesh." This tale is set in the early days of the world, shortly after creation, and involves the following key elements:
The Huluppu Tree: A willow tree (or huluppu tree) is said to have been planted by the goddess Inanna on the banks of the Euphrates River.
The tree grew strong and was intended to be used by Inanna to create a throne and a bed.
The Inhabitants of the Tree:
A Snake: A serpent that cannot be charmed made its nest at the base of the tree.
Lillake (Lilith): In the middle part of the tree, Lillake (an early form of the figure known later as Lilith) established her dwelling.
Gilgamesh's Intervention: Inanna, distressed by the occupation of her tree, seeks help from Gilgamesh, the hero-king of Uruk.
Gilgamesh responds to her plea, comes to the tree, and drives away the snake.
After this, Gilgamesh uproots the tree and gives it to Inanna.
The "Huluppu Tree" episode reflects ancient Sumerian themes of order versus chaos and civilization versus wilderness.
Gilgamesh's act of driving out the creatures from the tree symbolizes the imposition of order and the establishment of human civilization, aided by divine favor.
Adam Stories
One of the first men was Racumon, who was transformed into a great serpent with a human head, and he lived twined round a great Cabatas tree and ate of its fruit, and gave to those who passed by.
The godless Sammael had made an alliance with all the chiefs of his host against the Lord, because the holy and ever-blessed Lord had said to Adam and Eve, "Have dominion over the fish of the sea," and he said, "How can I make man to sin and drive him out?" Then he went down to earth with all his host, and he sought for a companion like to himself; he chose the serpent, which was in size like a camel, and he seated himself on its back and rode up to the woman, and said to her, "Hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?" And he thought, "I will ask more presently." Then she answered, "He has only forbidden me the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge which is in the midst of the garden.
And He said, 'In the day thou touchest it thou shalt die.'" She added two words; God did not say anything to her about touching it, and she spoke of the fruit, whereas God said the Tree.
Then the godless one, Sammael, went up to the tree and touched it.
But the tree cried out, "Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of the ungodly cast me down!
Then Sammael called to the woman, and said, "See, I have touched the tree and am not dead.
Do you also touch it and try." But when Eve drew near to the tree she saw the Angel of Death waiting sword in hand, and she said in her heart, "Perhaps I am to die, and then God will create another wife for Adam; that shall not be, he must die too." So she gave him of the fruit.
The peacock
Adam and Eve lived for five hundred years in Paradise before they ate of the tree and fell; for Eblis was outside, and could not enter the gates to deceive them.
"An angel told me this as I lay under the forbidden tree."
"I must also see him," said Eve, leaving her tent and going towards the tree.
At this moment Eblis flew out of the serpent's mouth, and stood in human form beneath the tree.
Then I sighed for death, and hoping to find it in the fruit of this tree, I ate, and lo!
Eve believed this oath, and broke a branch from the wheat-tree.
Before the Fall, wheat grew to a tree with leaves like emeralds.
God himself addressed Adam with a voice of thunder, saying, "Did not I forbid thee to touch of this fruit, and caution thee against the subtlety of thy foe, Eblis?" Adam and Eve tried to fly these reproaches, but the branches of the tree Talh caught Adam, and Eve entangled herself in her long hair.
"From the wrath of God there is no escape," cried a voice from the tree Talh; "obey the commandment of God."
Tabari also says that four trees pitying the shame of Adam and Eve, the Peacock, and the Serpent, in being driven naked out of Paradise, bowed their branches and gave each a leaf.
Certain Rabbis say that Adam ate only on compulsion, that he refused, but Eve "took of the tree,"—that is, broke a branch and "gave it him," with the stick.
Before the Fall, wheat grew to a tree with leaves like emeralds.
The angel Gabriel was sent out of Paradise to give him the rest of the wheat-grains Eve had plucked from the forbidden tree, together with two oxen, and various instruments of husbandry.

The third Adam is earthly
She entered the tree of knowledge and remained there.
They pursued her, and she revealed to them that she had entered the tree and had become the tree.
When they learned that an immortal human was not going to pass them by, but that they would even have to fear the woman who had turned into a tree, they were troubled and said, “Is this, perhaps, the true human, who blinded us and taught us about this defiled woman who is like him, that we might be conquered?”
They came to Adam and Eve timidly, and they said to him, “The fruit of every tree created for you in paradise may be eaten, but beware, don’t eat from the tree of knowledge.
‘Don’t eat from the tree of knowledge’?” She said, “He said not only ‘Don’t eat from it’ but also ‘Don’t touch it, lest you die.’” He said to her, “Don’t be afraid!
She looked at the tree and saw that it was beautiful and appealing, and she desired it.
Then Adam and Eve were very much disturbed and hid under the trees in paradise.
But because of fear of you I hid after I became ashamed.” But they said to him, in ignorance, “Who is the one who spoke to you of the shame that you put on—unless you ate from the tree?”
Now perhaps he will be deceived as with the tree of knowledge and will come to the tree of life and eat from it and become immortal and rule and condemn us and regard us and all our glory as folly.
They came to the tree of life and they set great terrors around it, fiery living beings called cherubim; and they left a flaming sword in the midst, turning continually with a great terror, so that no one from among earthly beings might ever enter that place.
Adam in Yaldabaoth’s Paradise
[Their food is bitter; their beauty is corrupt. Their food is deceit; their trees are ungodliness.Their fruit is poison.Their promise is death.]
They placed the Tree of Their Life into the middle of paradise.
As for the tree called “The Knowledge Of Good And Evil” It is the Epinoia of the light.They commanded him not to eat from it,Standing in front to conceal it, For fear that he might look upwards to the fullness And know the nakedness of his indecency.
I appeared as an eagle perched on the Tree of Knowledge! [Which is the Epinoia from the pure Providence of Light.]In order to teach them And raise them up from sleep’s depths.

At the seventh hour, Adam married Eve; at the eighth, Cain and his sister were born; at the ninth, they were forbidden to eat of the tree; at the tenth hour Adam fell; at the eleventh he was banished from Eden; and at the twelfth, he felt the sweat and pain of toil.
They are allowed to eat from any tree except the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil.
