SECOND BOOK OF AḎAM AND ḤAWWAH 10

1 And when they had ended their prayer the Word of Elohim came and comforted them concerning their father Aḏam. 2 After this, they offered their gifts for themselves and for their father. 3 And when they had ended their offering, the Word of Elohim came to Shĕth, the eldest among them, saying to him, \"Shĕth, Shĕth, Shĕth, three times. As I was with your father, so also shall I be with you, until the fulfillment of the promise I made your father saying, 'I will send My Word and save you and your seed.' 4 \"But as to your father Aḏam, keep you the commandment he gave you; and protect your seed and keep them from that of Qayin your brother.\" 5 And Elohim withdrew His Word from Shĕth. 6 Then Shĕth, Ḥawwah, and their children, came down from the mountain to the Cave of Treasures. 7 But Aḏam was the first whose soul died in the land of Ĕḏen, in the Cave of Treasures; for no one died before him, but his son Heḇel, who died because he was murdered. 8 Then all the children of Aḏam rose up, and wept over their father Aḏam, and made offerings to him, one hundred and forty days.
