| to understand why they don't make children like they use too we | |
| need to see how the first children came into being | |
| BOOK OF ADAM AND EVE {book one} | |
| ======================================================= | |
| CHAP. LXXIV. | |
| The birth of Cain and Luluwa. Why they received those names. | |
| AND they dwelt on the earth working, in order to continue in the | |
| well-being of their bodies; and were so until the nine months of | |
| Eve's childbearing were ended, and the time drew near when she | |
| must be delivered. | |
| 2 Then she said unto Adam, "This cave is a pure spot by reason | |
| of the signs wrought in it since we left the garden; and we | |
| shall again pray in it. It is not meet, then, that I should | |
| bring forth in it; let us rather repair to that of the | |
| sheltering rock, which Satan hurled at us, when he wished to | |
| kill us with it; but that was held up and spread as an awning | |
| over us by the command of God; and formed a cave." | |
| 3 Then Adam removed Eve to that cave; and when the time came | |
| that she should bring forth, she travailed much. So was Adam | |
| sorry, and his heart suffered for her sake; for she was nigh | |
| unto death; that the word of God to her should be fulfilled: "In | |
| suffering shalt thou bear a child, and in sorrow shalt thou | |
| bring forth thy child." | |
| 4 But when Adam saw the strait in which Eve was, he arose and | |
| prayed to God, and said, "O Lord, look upon me with the eye of | |
| Thy mercy, and bring her out of her distress." | |
| 5 And God looked at His maid-servant Eve, and delivered her, and | |
| she brought forth her first-born son, and with him a daughter. | |
| 6 Then Adam rejoiced at Eve's deliverance, and also over the | |
| children she had borne him. And Adam ministered unto Eve in the | |
| cave, until the end of eight days; when they named the son Cain, | |
| and the daughter Luluwa. | |
| 7 The meaning of Cain is "hater," because he hated his sister in | |
| their mother's womb; ere they came out of it. Therefore did Adam | |
| name him Cain. | |
| 8 But Luluwa means "beautiful," because she was more beautiful | |
| than her mother. | |
| 9 Then Adam and Eve waited until Cain and his sister were forty | |
| days old, when Adam said unto Eve, "We will make an offering and | |
| offer it up in behalf of the children." | |
| 10 And Eve said, "We will make one offering for the firstborn | |
| son; and afterwards we shall make one for the daughter." | |
| ================================================ | |
| CHAP. LXXV. | |
| The family revisits the Cave of Treasures. Birth of Abel and | |
| Aklemia. | |
| THEN Adam prepared an offering, and he and Eve offered it up for | |
| their children, and brought it to the altar they had built at | |
| first. | |
| 2 And Adam offered up the offering, and besought God to accept | |
| his offering. | |
| 3 Then God accepted Adam's offering, and sent a light from | |
| heaven that shone upon the offering. And Adam and the son drew | |
| near to the offering, but Eve and the daughter did not approach | |
| unto it. | |
| 4 Then Adam came down from upon the altar, and they were joyful; | |
| and Adam and Eve waited until the daughter was eighty days old; | |
| then Adam prepared an offering and took it to Eve and to the | |
| children; and they went to the altar, where Adam offered it up, | |
| as he was wont, asking the Lord to accept his offering. | |
| 5 And the Lord accepted the offering of Adam and Eve. Then Adam, | |
| Eve, and the children, drew near together, and came down from | |
| the mountain, rejoicing. | |
| 6 But they returned not to the cave in which they were born; but | |
| came to the Cave of Treasures, in order that the children should | |
| go round it, and be blessed with the tokens brought from the | |
| garden. | |
| 7 But after they had been blessed with these tokens, they went | |
| back to the cave in which they were born. | |
| 8 However, before Eve had offered up the offering, Adam had | |
| taken her, and had gone with her to the river of water, in which | |
| they threw themselves at first; and there they washed | |
| themselves. Adam washed his body and Eve hers also clean, after | |
| the suffering and distress that had come upon them. | |
| 9 But Adam and Eve, after washing themselves in the river of | |
| water, returned every night to the Cave of Treasures, where they | |
| prayed and were blessed; and then went back to their cave where | |
| the children were born | |
| 10 So did Adam and Eve until the children had done sucking. | |
| Then, when they were weaned, Adam made an offering for the souls | |
| of his children; other than the three times he made an offering | |
| for them, every week. | |
| 11 When the days of nursing the children were ended, Eve again | |
| conceived, and when her days were accomplished she brought forth | |
| another son and daughter; and they named the son Abel, and the | |
| daughter Aklia. | |
| 12 Then at the end of forty days, Adam made an offering for the | |
| son, and at the end of eighty days he made another offering for | |
| the daughter, and did by them, as he had done before by Cain and | |
| his sister Luluwa. | |
| 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 the birth of these, Eve ceased from childbearing. | |
| ======================================================== | |
| to really see this story with its implications we also need to | |
| look at matthew five | |
| Where Jesus speaks on the topics of this story | |
| Murder(AA) | |
| 21 �You have heard that it was said to the people long ago, �You | |
| shall not murder,[a](AB) and anyone who murders will be subject | |
| to judgment.� 22 But I tell you that anyone who is angry(AC) | |
| with a brother or sister[b][c] will be subject to judgment.(AD) | |
| Again, anyone who says to a brother or sister, �Raca,�[d] is | |
| answerable to the court.(AE) And anyone who says, �You fool!� | |
| will be in danger of the fire of hell.(AF) | |
| 23 �Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar and | |
| there remember that your brother or sister has something against | |
| you, 24 leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go | |
| and be reconciled to them; then come and offer your gift. | |
| 25 �Settle matters quickly with your adversary who is taking you | |
| to court. Do it while you are still together on the way, or your | |
| adversary may hand you over to the judge, and the judge may hand | |
| you over to the officer, and you may be thrown into prison. 26 | |
| Truly I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the | |
| last penny. | |
| Adultery | |
| 27 �You have heard that it was said, �You shall not commit | |
| adultery.�[e](AG) 28 But I tell you that anyone who looks at a | |
| woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his | |
| heart.(AH) 29 If your right eye causes you to stumble,(AI) gouge | |
| it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part | |
| of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. 30 | |
| And if your right hand causes you to stumble,(AJ) cut it off and | |
| throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your | |
| body than for your whole body to go into hell. | |
| Divorce | |
| 31 �It has been said, �Anyone who divorces his wife must give | |
| her a certificate of divorce.�[f](AK) 32 But I tell you that | |
| anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, | |
| makes her the victim of adultery, and anyone who marries a | |
| divorced woman commits adultery.(AL) | |
