"First Book of Adam and Eve"


13 He brought them to the Cave of Treasures, where
they received a blessing, and then returned to the cave
where they were born. After these children were born, Eve
stopped having children.

Chapter LXXVI - Cain becomes jealous of Abel because of his sisters.

1 And the children began to grow stronger and taller;
but Cain was hard-hearted, and ruled over his younger brother.
2 Often when his father made an offering, Cain would
remain behind and not go with them, to offer up.
3 But, as to Abel, he had a meek heart, and was obedient
to his father and mother. He frequently moved them
to make an offering, because he loved it. He prayed
and fasted a lot.
4 Then came this sign to Abel. As he was coming into
the Cave of Treasures, and saw the golden rods, the incense
and the myrrh, he asked his parents, Adam and Eve, to tell
him about them and asked, "Where did you get these from?"
5 Then Adam told him all that had befallen them. And
Abel felt deeply about what his father told him.
6 Furthermore his father, Adam, told him of the works
of God, and of the garden.
