The Lord?, who is the sacred being himself, commanded Adam (19) thus: ‘Eat of every tree which is in this garden, except of that tree of knowledge; (20) because when you eat thereof you die®’ 21, Afterwards a serpent was also put by him into the garden; (22) aad that serpent deceived Eve and spoke thus: ‘Ze? us eat of the gathering from this tree, and kt us give zt to Adam‘, 23. And she acted accordingly, (24) and Adam likewise ate®, 25. And Azs knowledge became such that good was distinguished by him from evil, and they did not die*®. 26. He also saw and knew that he was naked, (27) and became concealed under the trees ; (28) he likewise covered over his own body wth leaves of trees, on account of the shame of nakedness’, 29. Afterwards the Lord went to the 1 «So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them....

And Adam and Eve and the serpent are, all three, forced out of the garden of paradise by him with a curse7, 38. And he spoke to Adam thus: ‘ Thy eating shall be through the scraping off of sweat ® themselves aprons ... and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God, amongst the trees of the garden’ (Gen. iii. 7, 8). 1 ‘And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day.... And the Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him, “ Where ar/ thou?”’ (Gen. iii. 8, 9), # «And he said, “I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself” ’ (Gen. iii. 10). 5 Assuming that Paz. agarat stands for Pahl. akvarikat; see § 139. * ‘And he said, ‘“‘Who told thee that thou wast naked?
