God

I will put enmities between thee and the woman, and thy seed and her seed: she shall crush thy head, and thou shalt lie in wait for her heel.

To the woman also he said: I will multiply thy sorrows, and thy conceptions: in sorrow shalt thou bring forth children, and thou shalt be under thy husband's power, and he shall have dominion over thee.

And to Adam he said: Because thou hast hearkened to the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee, that thou shouldst not eat, cursed is the earth in thy work: with labour and toil shalt thou eat thereof all the days of thy life.

And the Lord God made for Adam and his wife garments of skins, and clothed them.

And he said: Behold Adam is become as one of us, knowing good and evil: now therefore lest perhaps he put forth his hand and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever.

And the Lord God sent him out of the paradise of pleasure, to till the earth from which he was taken.

And he cast out Adam: and placed before the paradise of pleasure Cherubims, and a flaming sword, turning every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.

And Adam knew Eve his wife; who conceived and brought forth Cain, saying: I have gotten a man through God.

And it came to pass after many days, that Cain offered, of the fruits of the earth, gifts to the Lord.

Abel also offered of the firstlings of his flock, and of their fat: and the Lord had respect to Abel, and to his offerings.

But to Cain and his offerings he had no respect: and Cain was exceeding angry, and his countenance fell.

And the Lord said to him: Why art thou angry? and why is thy countenance fallen?

And the Lord said to Cain: Where is thy brother Abel? And he answered: I know not: am I my brother's keeper?

And he said to him: What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth to me from the earth.

And Cain said to the Lord: My iniquity is greater than that I may deserve pardon.

Behold thou dost cast me out this day from the face of the earth, and from thy face I shall be hid, and I shall be a vagabond and a fugitive on the earth: every one therefore that findeth me, shall kill me.

And the Lord said to him: No, it shall not so be: but whosoever shall kill Cain, shall be punished sevenfold. And the Lord set a mark upon Cain, that whosoever found him should not kill him.

And Cain went out from the face of the Lord, and dwelt as a fugitive on the earth at the east side of Eden.

Adam also knew his wife again: and she brought forth a son, and called his name Seth, saying: God hath given me another seed for Abel, whom Cain slew.

But to Seth also was born a son, whom he called Enos: this man began to call upon the name of the Lord.

This is the book of the generation of Adam. In the day that God created man, he made him to the likeness of God.

He created them male and female; and blessed them: and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.

And Henoch walked with God: and lived after he begot Mathusala, three hundred years, and begot sons and daughters.

And he walked with God, and was seen no more: because God took him.

And he called his name Noe, saying: This same shall comfort us from the works and labours of our hands on the earth, which the Lord hath cursed.
