64.6-65.25 When I god had created me out of I the earth along with Eve your mother, I I went about with her in a 10 glory which she had seen in I the aeon from which we had come I forth. She taught me a word I of knowledge of the eternal god. I And we resembled 15 the great eternal angels, I for we were higher than I the god who had created us and I the powers with him, whom I we did not know. 20 "Then god, I the ruler of the aeons I and the powers, divided us in wrath. Then I we became two aeons. I And the glory in our heart(s) 25 left us, I me and your mother Eve, I along with the first knowledge I that breathed within us. And I it (glory) fled from us; 30 it entered into [... ] great [... ) which (fem.) 65 [had come] forth, not from this aeon from which [we had] I come forth, I I and Eve your mother. But I it (knowl edge) entered into the seed of 5 great aeons. For this reason I I myself have called you I by the name of that man I who is the seed of the great generation I or from whom (it comes). After 10 those days the eternal knowledge I of the God of truth I withdrew from me I and your mother Eve. I Since that time we 15 learned about dead things, I like men. Then I we recognized the god who had I created us. For we were not I strangers to his powers. And 20 we served him in fear I and slavery.

I [see also 65.29-32; 66.14-23 (When god created me); 64.2-4; 66.4-8; 85.19-21 (your mother Eve)] Gen 2:7, 21-22 7 then the LoRD God formed man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being. 21 So the LoRD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and while he slept took one of his ribs and closed up its place with flesh; 22 and the rib which the LORD God had taken from the man he made into a woman and brought her to the man. Gen 3:4-7a, 15, 23 4 But the serpent said to the woman, "You will not die. 5 For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil." 6 So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate; and she also gave some to her husband, and he ate. ?a Then the eyes of both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; 15 I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel." 23 therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from which he was taken. Gen 4:25 And Adam knew his wife again, and she bore a son and called his name Seth, for she said, "God has appointed for me another child instead of Abel, for Cain slew him."
