Then Seth saw the hand of God stretched out holding Adam and he handed him over to
2Michael, saying: 'Let him be in thy charge till the day of Judgement in punishment, till the last years when I will convert his sorrow into joy.
3Then shall he sit on the throne of him who hath been his supplanter.'
4And the Lord said again to the angels Michael and Uriel: 'Bring me three linen clothes of byssus and spread them out over Adam and other linen clothes over Abel his son and bury Adam and Abel his son.'
5And all the 'powers' of angels marched before Adam, and the sleep of the dead was
6consecrated. And the angels Michael and Uriel buried Adam and Abel in the parts of Paradise, before the eyes of Seth and his mother
7[and no one else], and Michael and Uriel said: 'Just as ye have seen, in like manner, bury your dead.'
