Adam and Eve establish the custom
of worship.
1 Then God looked at Adam and Eve, and at what had
come over them from Satan, and how he had made them perish.
2 God, therefore, sent His Word, and raised up Adam
and Eve from their state of death.
3 Then, Adam, when he was raised, said, "O God, You
have burnt and taken from us the corn You have given us,
and You have emptied out the bucket of water. And You have
sent Your angels, who have caused us to lose our way from
the corn field. Will You make us perish? If this be from
you, O God, then take away our souls; but punish us not."
4 Then God said to Adam, "I did not burn down the
wheat, and I did not pour the water out of the bucket, and
I did not send My angels to lead you astray.
5 But it is Satan, your master who did it; he to whom
you have subjected yourself; my commandment being meanwhile
set aside. He it is, who burnt down the corn, and poured
out the water, and who has led you astray; and all the
promises he has made you were just a trick, a deception,
and a lie.
