Jubilees

And on the sixth day of the second week we brought, according to the word of God, to Adam all the wild animals, and all the domestic animals and all the birds, and everything that moves on the earth and everything that moves in the waters, according to their species, according to their kinds: The wild animals on the first day, the domestic animals on the second day; the birds on the third day; and everything that moves on the earth on the fourth day; and what moves in the waters on the fifth day.

And Adam named them all according to their respective names, and as he called them, so were their names.

And in these five days Adam saw them all, male and female, according to every species that was on the earth, but he was alone and had no helper.

And the Lord said to us: "It is not good that the man should be alone. Let us make a helper for him."

And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon him, and he slept, and He took a rib from among his ribs for the woman, and from this rib the woman originated, from among his ribs, and He put flesh in its place, and built the woman.

And He awakened Adam from his sleep, and upon awakening he stood up, on the sixth day, and He brought her to him, and he knew her, and said to her: "This is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called wife; because she was taken from her husband."

Therefore a man and his wife shall be one, and therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother, and cleave to his wife, and they shall be one flesh.

In the first week Adam was created, and his rib, his wife. In the second week He showed her to him. And for this reason the commandment was given to keep in their uncleanness for a man seven days, and for a woman twice seven days.

And after Adam had completed forty days in the land in which he was created, we brought him into the garden of Eden to till it and keep it, but his wife they brought on the eightieth day, and after that she entered the garden of Eden.

And for this reason the commandment was written on the heavenly tablets concerning her who gives birth: "If she bears a male child, she shall remain in her uncleanness seven days according to the first week of days, and thirty-three days she shall remain in the blood of her purification, and she shall not touch anything holy, nor enter the sanctuary, until she completes these days in the case of a male child.

But in the case of a female child she shall remain in her uncleanness two weeks of days, according to the first two weeks, and sixty-six days in the blood of her purification, and they shall be in total eighty days."

And when he had completed these eighty days we brought her into the garden of Eden, because it is holier than all the earth around it and every tree planted in it is holy.

Therefore it was ordained concerning her who bears a male or female child, the statute of these days in which she may not touch anything holy, nor enter the sanctuary until the days for a male or female child are completed.

This is the Law and the testimony which was written for Israel so that they might observe it all the days.

And in the first week of the first jubilee, Adam and his wife were in the garden of Eden for seven years tilling it and keeping it, and we gave them work and instructed them to do everything suitable for planting.

And he tilled it, and was naked and did not know, and was not ashamed, and he protected the garden from the birds and from the wild animals and from the domestic animals, and gathered the fruits and ate them, and what remained of what he had set apart for himself and his wife he stored.

And after the seven years were completed, which they completed there, exactly 7 years, and in the second month, on the seventeenth day, the serpent came and approached the woman, and the serpent said to the woman: "Did God command you, saying, You shall not eat of all the trees of the garden?"

And she said: "Of all the fruits of these trees of the garden God said to us, Eat; but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden God said to us: You shall not eat of it, nor shall you touch it, or you will die."

And the serpent said to the woman: "You will surely not die, for God knows that on the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened and you will be like gods, and you will know good and evil.

And the woman saw that the tree was sweet and pleasant to look at, and that its fruit was good for food, and she took it and ate it.

And when she first covered herself with fig leaves, she also gave to Adam and he ate it, and their eyes were opened and he saw that he was naked.

And he took fig leaves and sewed them, and made an apron for himself, and covered his shame.

And God cursed the serpent, and was indignant with him forever... And He was indignant with the woman, because she followed the voice of the serpent, and ate; and He said to her:

"I will greatly multiply your sorrow and your pains; in sorrow you shall bring forth children, and your return shall be to your husband, and he shall rule over you."

And to Adam He also said: "Because you followed the voice of your wife, and ate of the tree of which I commanded you that you should not eat, cursed shall be the ground for your sake; thorns and thistles it shall bring forth to you, and you shall eat its bread in the sweat of your face, until you return to the ground from which you were taken; for from the ground you came and to the ground you shall return."

And He made for them garments of skin, and clothed them, and sent them away from the garden of Eden.

And on the day when Adam departed from the garden he offered as a sweet aroma an offering of incense, galbanum, stacte, and spices in the morning at sunrise on the day when he covered his shame.

And on that day the mouth of all wild animals was closed, and of all domestic animals, and of all birds, and of everything that walks, and of everything that moves, so that they could no longer speak; for they all spoke with one another with one lip and one language.

And He drove out of the garden of Eden all the flesh that was in the garden of Eden, and all flesh was scattered according to its species, and according to its kinds, to the places which had been created for them.

And only to Adam He gave the means with which to cover his shame from all the wild and domestic animals.

Because of this, it is prescribed on the heavenly tablets concerning those who know judgment and the law that they should cover their shame, and should not uncover themselves as the Gentiles do who uncover themselves.

And on the new moon of the fourth month, Adam and his wife departed from the garden of Eden, and dwelt in the land of Elda, in the land of their creation.

And Adam called his wife's name Eve.

And they had no children until the first jubilee, and after that he knew her.

Now he tilled the ground as he had been taught in the garden of Eden.
