1. "Look again at the picture: Who is the one who seduced Eve, and what is 34.
2
Now look again in the picture, and see who it is who seduced Eve, and what is the fruit of the Tree, and you will know what is to be, and how it shall be with your seed among the people at the end of the days of the age, and all that you cannot understand I will make known to you for you are well-pleasing in my sight, and I will tell you of those things which are kept in my heart. 2. the fruit of the tree?
3
And you will know what will be and how much will be for 3. your seed in the last days.
4
And what you cannot understand, I will make known to you because you have been pleasing before my face and I will tell you what 4.
5
I have kept in my heart." And I looked at the picture, and my eyes ran to the 35.
6
And I looked into the picture, and my eyes ran to the side of the Garden of Eden, and I saw there a man of imposing height and mighty in stature, incomparable in aspect, and he was embracing a woman, who likewise approximated to the aspect of his size and stature.
7
And they were standing under a tree of the Garden of Eden, and the fruit of this tree was like a bunch of grapes of the vine.
8
And standing behind the tree was one who had the aspect of a Serpent having hands and feet like those of a man, and wings on its shoulders, six pairs of wings, so that there were six wings on the right and six on the left.
9
And as I continued looking, I saw the man and the woman eating the fruit from the tree. 5. side of the garden of Eden.
10
And I saw there a man very great in height and terrible in breadth, incomparable in aspect, entwined with a woman who was also equal 6. to the man in aspect and size.
11
And they were standing under a tree of Eden, and 7. the fruit of the tree was like the appearance of a bunch of grapes of the vine.
12
And behind the tree was standing (something) like a dragon in form, but having hands 8. and feet like a man�s, on his back six wings on the right and six on the left.
13
And he was holding the grapes of the tree and feeding them to the two I saw entwined 9. with each other.
14
And I said, "Who are these two entwined with each other, or who is this between them, and what is the fruit which they are eating, Mighty 36.
15
And I said, "Who are these who are embracing, and who is the one between them who is behind the tree, and what is the fruit that they are eating?" And He said, "This is the council of the world, this one is Adam, and this one, who is their desire upon the .earth, is Eve.
16
But he who is between them represents ungodliness and their beginnings on the way to perdition, even Azazel." 10.
17
One, Eternal?" And he said. "This is the world of men, this is Adam and this 11. is their thought on earth, this is Eve.
18
And he who is between them is the impiety 12. of their behavior unto perdition, Azazel himself." And I said. "Eternal Mighty One, why then did you adjudge him such dominion that through his works 37.
19
And I said, "0 Eternal Mighty One!
20
Why have you given such as him the power to destroy the generations of men in their works upon the earth?" And He said to me, "Those who will to do evil over them I gave him power, even to be beloved of them." 13. he could ruin humankind on earth?" And he said to me, "Hear, Abraham!
21
Those who desire evil, and all whom I have hated as they commit them- over them 14. did I give him dominion, and he was to be beloved of them." And I answered and said. "Eternal, Mighty One!
22
Why did it please you to bring it about that evil should be desired in the heart of man, because you are angered at what was chosen by you...him who does useless things in your light(?)" 38.
23
And I answered and said, "0 Eternal Mighty One!
24
Wherefore is it your will that evil should be desired in the hearts of men, since you are indeed enangered over that which you see?
25
It is your will, and you are angry with him who is doing what is unprofitable in your counsel?"
