"
5 Then Adam said to them, "But how do you multiply?"
6 And they answered him, "We have husbands who have
married us, and we bear them children, who grow up,
and who in their turn marry and are married, and also
bear children; and thus we increase. And if so be, O Adam,
you will not believe us, we will show you our husbands
and our children."
7 Then they shouted over the river as if to call their
husbands and their children, who came up from the river,
men and children; and every man came to his wife, his
children being with him.
8 But when Adam and Eve saw them, they stood dumb, and
wondered at them.
9 Then they said to Adam and Eve, "See all our husbands
and our children? You should marry Eve, as we have married
our husbands, so that you will have children as we have."
This was a device of Satan to deceive Adam.
10 Satan also thought within himself, "God at first
commanded Adam concerning the fruit of the tree, saying to
him, 'Eat not of it; else of death you shall die.' But
Adam ate of it, and yet God did not kill him; He only
decreed on him death, and plagues and trials, until the day
he shall come out of his body.
