Chapter 10
"Adam was the first...."
1AND when they had ended their prayer, the Word of God came and comforted them concerning their father Adam.
2After this, they offered their gifts for themselves and for their father.
3And when they had ended their offering, the Word of God came to Seth, the eldest among them, saying unto him, "O Seth, Seth, Seth, three times. As I was with thy father, so also shall I be with thee, until the fulfilment of the promise I made him, thy father saying, I will send My Word and save thee and thy seed.
4 But as to thy father Adam, keep thou the commandment he gave thee; and sever thy seed from that of Cain thy brother."
5And God withdrew His Word from Seth.
6Then Seth, Eve, and their children, came down from the mountain to the Cave of Treasures.
7But Adam was the first whose soul died in the land of Eden, in the Cave of Treasures; for no one died before him, but his son Abel, who died murdered.
8Then all the children of Adam rose up, and wept over their father Adam, and made offerings to him, one hundred and forty days.
