Gen5:3-4a 3 When Adam had lived a hundred and thirty years, he became the father of a son in his own likeness, after his image, and named him Seth. 4a The days of Adam after he became the father of Seth were eight hundred years; [cf. LXX: seven hundred years) Cf. Gen4:25

64.6-65.25 When I god had created me out of I the earth along with 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.

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 , 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 , for slew him."
