And God said: Let us make man in our image, according to our image. And God created man in his image. And God formed man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life. And he said, "This is a bone of mine, and she shall be called woman, for from a man she takes it." And the man called her name Eve, for she was the mother of all living things. For in the day you eat from it you will die. And he also gave some of it to the woman, and she ate: And the man and his wife passed on the commandments of God, which fasted, and God knew, and his nose burned at them, and he cursed them: And God came down on that day from the garden of heaven to work the land that they were taking from there, and they went and dwelt before the garden of heaven:
And Adam knew his wife Eve, and she bore two sons and three daughters: and she named the firstborn Cain, saying, I have bought a man from her people: and the name of the second was called Abel, for she said, In vain we came into the land, and in vain we were taken from it: And the boys grew up, and their father gave them an estate in the land, and Cain was a tiller of the land, and Abel a shepherd of sheep.
And Cain came from the fruit of the ground, and Abel brought from the firstfruits of his sheep and their milk: And he swore to Abel and to his offering, and fire came down from his side from the sky and consumed it: And to Cain and to his offering he did not turn, nor did he turn to her, because he sacrificed before him from the pasture of the fruit of the ground. And they will both be in the field, and Cain will pass and plow his land, and Abel will shepherd his sheep:
ยฐ The young man said with that what he said 'in the interpretation' and it came to pass when they were in the field that Cain stood up, etc. who wants to say that when they were in the field each one was engaged in his work, one was a woodman and the other was a shepherd, this was a reason and a plot because Cain stood up to Abel his brother and killed him and as he tells and goes ยท Dok':
And the flock passed over the plowing place which Cain had plowed in the land, and Cain was very angry at this thing, and Cain came to his brother Abel in his anger and said to him, "What is wrong with me and you go, for you and your sheep have come to live and graze in all my land?" I will also leave your land when you said, or I will fly in the sky if I eat. And Cain said to his brother Abel, if I killed you today, who will ask for your blood from me? And Abel answered Cain, saying, "Not the God who made us in the earth. He will take my revenge and he will ask for my blood from you if you kill me. For he is the judge, he is the judge, and he is the one who repays a man's evil for his evil and the wicked according to his wickedness that he does in the land. And now if I die, you will kill me with a flash, God does not know." hide and judge you for the evil that you have spoken to do to me today: And it came to pass when Cain heard all the words of his brother Abel that he had spoken, and Cain was also angry with his brother Abel in speaking of this thing: and Cain hurried and stood up and took the iron of the plow tool that he had and struck his brother with it suddenly and killed him. And he was very sad and wept for him and was very sorry for him: Cain arose and dug a hole in the field and put his brother's Gentile in it and poured the dirt over him:
ยฐ The young man said with this you will understand why the earth came upon it, that you are cursed from the earth that opened its mouth to take, etc., because it also sinned in what the dust caused when they returned Cain to Abel, why did it rest and be silent and did not reject the dust over Abel, after all, it opened its mouth to take the blood of Abel ยท Dok':
And he knew what Cain had done to his brothers, and he looked at Cain and said to him, "Isn't it vain that your brother is with you?" And Cain denied it, and the guard said, "I did not know, my brother, I am." And he said to him, "Hey, what have you done? The sound of your brother's blood is crying out to me from the ground where you killed him. Because you killed your brother, and you denied me, and you thought in your heart, saying, I have not seen you, nor will I know all your deeds that you will do. And you will do this thing, and you will kill your brother for nothing." who spoke the truth to you: and now you are cursed from the earth that opened its mouth to take your brother's blood from your hand and in which you buried him: and if you worship it, it will not increase its strength to you as at the beginning: for the earth will grow thorns and thistles for you, and it will move and move in the land until the day of your death. To him: And Cain knew his wife in those days, and she conceived and bore him a son: and he called his name Enoch, saying at that time he began to lay him down and make him quiet in the land. Lemach: And it came to pass in the thirtieth year and one hundred years of Adam's life in the land, that Adam married his wife Eve again, and she conceived and bore a son in his image: and she called his name Seth, saying, God planted another seed for me under Abel, because they killed Cain: And Seth lived one hundred and five years, and begat a son: And he called the name of his son Enosh, Seth, saying, At that time men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and to afflict their souls and hearts to sin and rebel against God: And it happened in the days of Enosh. And they will add more people to rebel and sin against God, to add even more trouble to the people: And the people will go and worship other Gods, and they will forget the Lord who created them in the earth. And men in those days made images of copper and iron, wood and stone, and they bowed down to them and served them. And every man made God and bowed down to him, and men forsook God all the days of man and his sons.
And God was also angry with them for their deeds and for all their abominations that they had done in the land, and God flooded them with the water of the river Gihon and destroyed them and consumed them and a third of the land was lost. And yet the people did not return from their evil ways, and their hand is still inclined to do evil in the eyes of God. And in those days there was no seed and no harvest in the earth and no food for the people, and there was a very great famine in those days. And the seed which they sow in the ground became thorns and thistles and thistles in those days. The curse of God who cursed the earth, the sin of man who sinned before God. And it came to pass when the people continued to rebel and sin against G-d and corrupt their way, and the earth also added to its corruption. And Enosh lived ninety years and begat Kenan, and Kenan grew up and was forty years old and became wise and learned and understood in all wisdom. And he reigned over all men and guided men with wisdom and understanding, because the man Kenan was very wise and understood in all wisdom and he ruled with his wisdom even over spirits and demons. And Kenan knew in his wisdom that God would destroy the human race for their sin in the land, and that He would bring the waters of the flood upon them at the end of days. And Kenin wrote the future to be in those days on stone tablets, and put them in his treasures. And Kenan reigned over all the land, and sat down among men to worship God. And it came to pass when Kenan was seventy years old, and begat three sons and two daughters. And these are the names of the sons of Kenan, the name of the firstborn is Mahalalel and his second is Enan and the third is Mered. And their sisters Ada and Zila, these are the sons of Kenan who will bear him five sons. And he begged (and married) Lamech son of Metushus for Kenan, and he took his two daughters as wives. And she conceived and gave birth to Lamach a son, and she called his name Yabal. And she conceived again and gave birth to a son, and called his name Yuval. And Zilla her sister was barren in those days, she has no child. Because in those days men began to sin against G-d and transgress His commandments, which commanded man to raise cows and multiply in the land. And among the people, some of their wives drank barren water, so that they would stand up to their title and not deny their beauty and appearance. And it came to pass when men watered some of their wives, and she also drank Tsila with them. And the women who give birth will be an abomination in the eyes of their husbands as living widows, and the barrenness will cling to them.
And at the end of many days and years at the time of Tzilah's old age, God opened her womb. And she conceived and gave birth to a son, and she called his name Tubal Cain to Amor after Loti Kenithihu El Shadi. And she conceived again and gave birth to a daughter, and she called her name Naama because she said after my birth I had Edna and Noam. And an old man came to you in days, and his eyes darkened and he could not see, and Tobal Cain his son shepherded him. And it came to pass today that he went out to you in the field, and Cain his son went with him. And it came to pass that they were walking two together in the field, and Cain, a man, was walking and coming in the field to meet them, for Lamech was very old and could not see very well, and Cain led his son, a very young boy. And Cain said to his father to draw his bow, and he drew his bow and shot Cain with arrows from afar and killed him because he was a beast in their eyes. And the arrows came in the tribe of Cain and he was far from them, and he fell to the ground and died. And the Lord paid Cain evil, as he had done to his brother Abel, according to the word of the Lord which he had spoken to him. And it came to pass when Cain died, and they went to Lamach, and Cain brought his son to see the animal they had killed, and they saw, and behold Cain, their old man, fell to the ground dead. And Lamech was very angry with him for doing this thing, and he beat one spoon on another and satisfied his son with his mouth and killed him. And your wives heard what he did to you, and they sought to kill you. And Nishi hated him and beat him from that day forward, for which he killed Cain and Tobal Cain. And Lamech's wives separated from him, and he did not listen to him in those days. And he will come to you to his wives, and they will ask him to hear about this thing. And he said to your wives Ada and Zila, for my voice my wife has listened to you, I said. But now here you are sitting and you have said that I have killed a man for my wounds, and a child for my company for no Hams. Didn't you know that I am old and old and my eyes are heavy with a beard, and I will do this thing without thinking. And my wife heard him speak to him about this, and they returned to him on the advice of Adam their father. But they did not bear him sons from that day on, because they knew that even God's wrath was increasing in those days on men to corrupt them in the days of the flood for the evil of their deeds. And Halelal ben Kenan lived sixty-five years, and begat Jared. And he lived sixty-two years and a hundred years, and begat Enoch. And Enoch lived sixty-five years, and begat Methuselah. And Enoch walked with God after Methuselah was born, and worshiped God and was tired of the ways of evil men. And Enoch's soul clung to morals and knowledge and understanding, and he knew the ways of God. And with his wisdom he separated his soul from men, and hid his soul from them for many days.
And there came to an end many days and years of his being a servant before God, and he prayed before God at home and in his room. And the angel of God called to him from heaven and said Enoch Enoch, and he said here I am. And he said to him, Arise, get out of your house and from your place where you are hidden and reign over all mankind, so that you may teach them the way they will walk and the deed they will do to walk in the ways of God. And Enoch arose and went out of his house and place and from the room where he was there, according to God's word. And he will guide the people, and teach them the way of God. And he will gather the people of mankind at that time, and will inform them of God's morals. And they commanded and sent a voice in all the places of men to say, Who is the man who desires to know the ways of God and the good deed will come to Enoch. And they gathered to him from all men at that time, and it happened that everyone who desired this thing went to Enoch. And Enoch reigned over mankind in the word of God, and they came and bowed down to him to the ground and they all heard his words together. And the spirit of God came upon Enoch, and he taught all his people the wisdom of God and his ways. And men worshiped God all the days of Enoch, and men came to hear his wisdom. And also all the first and last kings of men and their ministers and judges came to Enoch when they heard his wisdom, and bowed down to him with their faces to the ground. And they also asked for Enoch who would reign over them, and he loved them for this matter. And they all gathered about thirty and a hundred kings and ministers, and they made Enoch king over them. And they will all be under his hand and under his words, and Enoch will teach them wisdom and knowledge and the way of God and put peace between them all. And there was peace throughout the land in the days of Enoch, and Enoch reigned over all mankind for two hundred and forty years and three years. And he did justice and righteousness to all his people, and guided them in the ways of God. And these are the histories of Enoch, Methuselah and Elisha and Elimelech three sons and their sisters Malka and Naama. And Methuselah lived eighty-seven years and one hundred years, and begat Lamech. And it came to pass in the fifty-sixth year of Lamach's life, that Adam died. He was nine hundred and thirty years old at the time of his death, and Sheth and his sons and Enoch and Methuselah his son were buried with great honor in the burial of the kings in the cave that God had spoken to them. And all the people in that place made a eulogy and great weeping for Adam, therefore there was a law among people until this day. And Adam died because of what he ate from the tree of knowledge, he and his sons, when God spoke to them.
And it happened in the year of Adam's death, which is the year two hundred and forty years and three years into the reign of Enoch. And it happened at that time that Enoch made it his heart to separate and separate himself from men and to hide from them for the first time in order to worship God, and Enoch did this thing but did not hide his soul from them all the days. And he hid from the people for three days, and revealed to them one day. And all the three days that he is in the room, he prays and praises God his God. And on the day he went out to his servants to show them, he taught them the way of God and whatever they asked of him he spoke to them. And he did this deed for many days and years, and after that he sat and hid his soul for six days and revealed it to his people one day for seven days, and after that one day in a month and one day in a year, until all the kings and all the ministers and all the people sought his face. And everyone longed to see Enoch's face and hear his words, but they could not, because all men would see Enoch in great awe. And they saw an offering to him from the fear of God that was on his face, therefore no one could see his face lest he be removed and die. And all the kings and all the ministers took counsel to gather all the people together and come to Enoch your king to talk with him all while he went out to them, and he did so. And it came to pass today that Enoch went out to them and they all gathered together and came to him together, and Enoch spoke to them all their words and taught them wisdom and knowledge and raised the fear of God. And all the people of men were very frightened and wondered at him for his wisdom and bowed down, before him they all bowed down and said, Long live the king Long live the king. And there came a time when all the kings and all the ministers and all the human beings were talking with Enoch and Enoch was teaching them the ways of God, and the angel of God called to Enoch from the heavens at that time and said to raise him up to the heavens to reign over the sons of God in the heavens when he reigns over the human beings in the earth. At that time, when Moses heard this, he commanded and gathered all the inhabitants of the land to him, and he taught them the wisdom, knowledge, and morals of God. And Neshul said to them, I was asked to ascend to heaven, I did not know the day of my departure, and now I will teach you wisdom and morals to do in the land where you will be before I leave you, and he did so.
And he will teach them wisdom and knowledge and morals, and he will prove them. And he gave them laws and judgments to do in the land, and he gave them peace and gave them eternal life. And he sat with them for several days, and taught and taught them all these things. And it happened at that time and the people of mankind were sitting with Enoch and Enoch was speaking to them, and they raised their eyes and saw, and behold, the image of a great horse descending from the sky and the horse walked in the wind of the earth. And they told Enoch what they had seen, and Enoch said to them, "For me, that horse is going down to the earth, because the time and the day have come when I will go away from you and will not see you again." And that horse came down at that time and stood before Enoch, and all the people who were Enoch saw him. And Enoch commanded another at that time, and they sent a voice to say that the man who desires to know the ways of God his God will come to Enoch on this day before they are taken from him. And all mankind gathered and came to Enoch on that day, and all the kings of the land and their ministers and their princes did not depart from him on that day. And Enoch taught all men the wisdom and knowledge and morals of God on that day, and he fasted very much to worship God and walk in His ways all the days of their lives, and there was peace among them all. And it came to pass after that that he arose and mounted the horse and went out and walked, and all men went out and followed him, about eight hundred thousand men, and they walked with him a day's journey. And it happened on the second day, and he said to them, Return to your tents, why do you go, lest you die, and they returned from them above him. And the rest of them went with him on a journey of six days, and Enoch spoke to them every day again to your tents lest they die, and they did not want to hear, and they went with him. And it came to pass on the sixth day, and Enoch spoke to them again, saying, Return to your tents from me, for tomorrow I will ascend to heaven, and all who remain of you will die with me. And more of them will return on the sixth day, and there will be more people left and they will stick with him. And they said unto him, We will go with thee to the place where thou goest, as the Lord liveth, for death shall separate us and thee. And it happened that they were making an effort to go with him, and he stopped talking to them and they followed him and he did not return to them. And these kings on their return, and all ordered to know the number of the remaining people who followed Enoch.
And it came to pass on the seventh day, that Enoch ascended in the heavenly storm, in horses of fire and chariots of fire. And all the kings who were with Enoch on the eighth day sent to take the number of people who remained with Enoch in the place where he ascended from the sky, and the angels of all these kings went to that place and found the whole land full of snow in that place and on the snow stones as big as snow stones. They said one to the other, go and split this snow and see if the people who stayed with Enoch died under this snow, and they did so and searched through all that snow and found the number of people who were with Enoch dead under the snow. And they looked for Enoch and did not find him, because the sky had risen. And there will be all the days of Enoch who lived in the land, three hundred and five and sixty years. In the one hundred and thirteenth year of the life of Lamech son of Methuselah, Enoch ascended to heaven. And it came to pass that Enoch possessed the heavens and all the kings of the earth arose, and took Methuselah his son and anointed him and made him king over them under his father. And Methuselah, righteous in the eyes of God, did as much as his father Enoch instructed him, and he also taught the people of men wisdom and knowledge and the fear of God all his days he did not deviate from the good path right and left. But at the end of the days of Methuselah, the people turned away from God and corrupted the land, and robbed and spoiled each other. And they will rebel against God and sin and corrupt their way, and they will not listen to the voice of Methuselah and they will rebel against him. And the Lord beat them very much, and the Lord added and destroyed the seed in those days, and there was no seed and no harvest in the earth. And it shall come to pass, when they shall sow the earth that which they shall eat for their sustenance in the land, and thorns and thistles shall grow up for them which they did not sow. And yet the people of those days did not return from their evil ways, and their hand was still inclined to do evil in the eyes of God. And they angered God with their evil ways, and God was very angry and comforted because he made man and said to destroy them and destroy them from the face of the earth and he did so to them. In those days when Lamach son of Methuselah was sixty-eight years and a hundred years old, and six sons of Adam died. And all the days of Sheth that he lived were nine hundred years and twelve years and he died.
And Lamech was eighty-one years old and one hundred years old, and he took Ashmoe, the daughter of Elishua, son of Enoch, his uncle, to wife, and she bore him. And at that time the people sowed the earth, and they would find a little food in the earth. But the people did not return from their evil way, and they rebelled and rebelled in the earth. And Lamech's wife conceived, and bore him a son at that time for the period of the year. And Methuselah called his name Noah to say, the earth rested and was quiet from the destruction in his days. And when he died, his father called him a comforter, saying, This will comfort us from our deeds and from the pain of our hands from the ground that God has cursed. And the child grew up and weaned and walked in the ways of Methuselah his father, and he was perfect and upright with God. And all men turned away from the ways of God in those days, when they multiplied on the face of the earth in sons and daughters. And they taught each other their evil ways, and they went about sinning against God. And they made a man of his God to them, and robbed them, and spoiled them, and each man kissed his neighbor, and each man his kinsman, and the land was corrupted, and the land was filled with Hams. And their judges and policemen went to all the daughters of men, and took wives for them in possession under their husbands from whomever they chose. And also from the beasts of the earth and the mush of the field and the flight of the sky, the people brought in those days, and they were taught to walk in a kind that we did not choose, in order to make God angry with this thing. And G-d saw the whole earth, and behold it was corrupted, for all flesh had corrupted its way on the earth, all man and every beast. And the Lord said, I will wipe out man whom I have created from the face of the earth, from man to the fowl of the air and to the beast and to the beast of the field, for I am comforted because I have made them. And every man who walked in the ways of God died in those days. God has not yet brought upon mankind the evil that He spoke of doing to them. Because it was from God that they should not see the evil that God had spoken about men. And Noah found favor in God's eyes, and God chose him, he and his sons to live from them seed over the whole earth.
