2 But as they were going on their way, and before they
got there, Satan, the wicked one, had heard the Word of God
communing with Adam respecting his covering.
3 It grieved him, and he hastened to the place where
the sheep-skins were, with the intention of taking them and
throwing them into the sea, or of burning them with fire,
so that Adam and Eve would not find them.
4 But as he was about to take them, the Word of God
came from heaven, and bound him by the side of those skins
until Adam and Eve came near him. But as they got closer
to him they were afraid of him, and of his hideous look.
5 Then came the Word of God to Adam and Eve, and said
to them, "This is he who was hidden in the serpent, and who
deceived you, and stripped you of the garment of light and
glory in which you were.
6 This is he who promised you majesty and divinity.
Where, then, is the beauty that was on him? Where is his
divinity? Where is his light? Where is the glory that
rested on him?
7 Now his figure is hideous; he is become abominable
among angels; and he has come to be called Satan.
