Chapter 3
1 On the sixth day of the second week, according to the word of Elohim, we brought to Adam all the beasts, and all the cattle, and all the birds, and everything that moves on the earth, and everything that moves in the water, according to their kinds, and according to their types, the beasts on the first day; the cattle on the second day; the birds on the third day; and all that moves on the earth on the fourth day; and that moves in the water on the fifth day.
2 And Adam named them all by their respective names. As he called them, so was their name.
3 On these five days Adam saw all these, male and female, according to every kind that was on the earth, but he was alone and found no helpmate.
4 Yah said to us, “It is not good that the man should be alone, let us make a helpmate for him.”
5 And Yah our Elohim caused a deep sleep to fall on him, and he slept, and He took from Adam a rib from among his ribs for the woman, and this rib was the origin of the woman. And He built up the flesh in its place, and built the woman.
6 He awakened Adam out of his sleep and on awakening he rose on the sixth day, and He brought her to him, and he knew her, and said to her, “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called my wife; because she was taken from her husband.”
7 Therefore shall man and wife become one and therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and cling to his wife, and they shall be one flesh.
8 In the first week Adam was created, and from his rib, his wife. In the second week Elohim showed her to him, and for this reason the commandment was given to keep in their defilement. A male should be purified in seven days, and for a female twice seven days.
9 After Adam had completed forty days in the land where he had been created, we brought him into the garden of Eden to till and keep it, but his wife we brought in on the eightieth day, and after this she entered into the garden of Eden.
10 And for this reason the commandment is written on the heavenly tablets in regard to her that gives birth, “If she bears a male, she shall remain unclean for seven days according to the first week of days, and thirty-three days shall she remain in the blood of her purifying, and she shall not touch any pure thing, nor enter into the sanctuary, until she completes these days which are decreed in the case of a male child.
11 But in the case of a female child she shall remain unclean two weeks of days, according to the first two weeks, and sixty-six days in the blood of her purification, and they will be in all eighty days.”
12 When she had completed these eighty days we brought her into the Garden of Eden, for it is holier than all the earth besides and every tree that is planted in it is pure.
13 Therefore, there was ordained regarding her who bears a male or a female child the statute of those days that she should touch no pure thing, nor enter into the sanctuary until these days for the male or female child are completed.
14 This is the law and testimony that was written down for Israel, in order that they should observe it all the days.
15 In the first week of the first jubilee, Adam and his wife were in the garden of Eden for seven years tilling and keeping it, and we gave him work and we instructed him to do everything that is suitable for tillage.
16 And he tilled the garden, and was naked and did not realize it, and was not ashamed. He protected the garden from the birds and beasts and cattle. He gathered its fruit, and ate, and put aside that which was left over for himself and for his wife.
17 After the completion of exactly seven years there, and in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, the serpent came and approached the woman, and the serpent said to the woman, “Has Elohim commanded you saying, you shall not eat of every tree of the garden?”
18 She said to it, Elohim said to us, of all the fruit of the trees of the garden, eat; but of the fruit of the tree which is in the middle of the garden Elohim said to us, you shall not eat of it, neither shall you touch it, or you shall die.”
19 The serpent said to the woman, “You shall not surely die. Elohim does know that on the day you shall eat of it, your eyes will be opened, and you will be as elohim, and you will know good and evil.
20 And the woman saw the tree that it was beautiful and pleasant to the eye, and that its fruit was good for food, and she took of it and ate.
21 First, she covered her shame with fig leaves and then she gave the fruit to Adam and he ate, and his eyes were opened, and he saw that he was naked.
22 He took fig leaves and sewed them together, and made an apron for himself, and covered his shame.
23 Elohim cursed the serpent, and was very angry at it forever.
24 And He was very angry with the woman, because she listened to the voice of the serpent, and ate; and He said to her, “I will vastly multiply your sorrow and your pains, in sorrow you will bring forth children, and your master shall be your husband, and he will rule over you.”
25 To Adam also he said, “Because you have listened to the voice of your wife, and have eaten of the tree of which I commanded you not to eat, cursed be the ground for your sake, thorns and thistles shall it produce for you, and you will eat your bread in the sweat of your face, untill you return to the earth from where you were taken; for earth you are, and to earth will you return.”
26 And He made for them coats of skin, and clothed them, and sent them out from the Garden of Eden.
27 On that day on which Adam went out from the Garden, he offered as a sweet odor an offering, frankincense, incense, and sweet spice, and spices in the morning with the rising of the sun from the day when he covered his shame.
28 On that day was closed the mouth of all beasts, and of cattle, and of birds, and of whatever walks, and of whatever moves, so that they could no longer speak, for they had all spoken one with another with one dialect and with one language.
29 All flesh that was in the Garden of Eden He sent out of the Garden of Eden, and all flesh was scattered according to its kinds, and according to its types to the places that had been created for them.
30 Of all the beasts and cattle only to Adam alone He gave the ability to cover his shame.
31 Because of this, it is prescribed on the heavenly tablets as touching all those who know the judgment of the law, that they should cover their shame, and should not uncover themselves as the Gentiles uncover themselves.
32 On the fourth new month, Adam and his wife went out from the Garden of Eden, and they dwelt in the land of Elda in the land of their creation.
33 And Adam called the name of his wife Eve.
34 And they had no son until the first jubilee, and after this he knew her.
35 Now he tilled the land as he had been instructed in the Garden of Eden.may observe this day throughout their generations, and not be rooted out of the land; for it is a pure day and a blessed day.
28 Every one who observes it and keeps Sabbath on it from all his work will be pure and blessed throughout all days as we are blessed.
29 Declare and say to the children of Israel the law of this day that they should keep Sabbath on it, and that they should not forsake it in the error of their hearts; and that it is not lawful to do any work on it which is not suitable, to do their own pleasure on it, and that they should not prepare anything to be eaten or drunk on it, and that it is not lawful to draw water, or bring in or take out through their gates any burden which they had not prepared for themselves on the sixth day in their dwellings.
30 They shall not bring or take anything from house to house on that day; for that day is more pure and blessed than any jubilee day of the jubilees; on this we kept Sabbath in the heavens before it was made known to any flesh to keep Sabbath on the earth.
31 The Creator of all things blessed it, but He did not sanctify all peoples and nations to keep Sabbath, but Israel alone, them alone He permitted to eat and drink and to keep Sabbath on the earth.
32 And the Creator of all things blessed this day which He had created for blessing and purity and glory above all days.
33 This law and testimony was given to the children of Israel as a law forever to their generations.
