2bit Seth. And Adam said to Eve: 'What hast thou done? A great plague hast thou brought upon us, transgression and sin for all our generations: and this which thou hast done, tell thy

3children after my death, [for those who arise from us shall toil and fail but they shall be

4wanting and curse us (and) say, All evils have our parents brought upon us, who were at the

5beginning].' When Eve heard these words, she began to weep and moan.
