from the book of Adam and Eve
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.

part two ;
CHAP. LXXVI.
Cain becomes jealous because of his sisters.
A ND the children began to wax stronger, and to grow in stature;
but Cain was hardhearted, and ruled over his younger brother.
2 And oftentimes when his father made an offering, he would
remain behind and not go with them, to offer up.
p. 55
3 But, as to Abel, he had a meek heart, and was obedient to his
father and mother, whom he often moved to make an offering,
because he loved it; and prayed and fasted much.
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 inquired of his parents Adam and Eve concerning them, and
said unto them, "How did you come by these?"
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; and after that, he remained behind his father the
whole of that night in the Cave of Treasures.
7 And that night, while he was praying, Satan appeared unto him
under the figure of a man, who said to him, "Thou hast
oftentimes moved thy father to make an offering, to fast and to
pray, therefore I will kill thee, and make thee perish from this
world."
8 But as for Abel, he prayed to God, and drove away Satan from
him; and believed not the words of the devil. Then when it was
day, an angel of God appeared unto him, who said to him,
"Shorten neither fasting, prayer, nor offering up an oblation
unto thy God. For, lo, the Lord has accepted thy prayer. Be not
afraid of the figure which appeared unto thee in the night, and
who cursed thee unto death." And the angel departed from him.
9 Then when it was day, Abel came to Adam and Eve, and told them
of the vision he had seen. But when they heard it, they grieved
much over it, yet said nothing to him about it; they only
comforted him.
10 But as to hard-hearted Cain, Satan came to him by night,
showed himself and said unto him, "Since Adam and Eve love thy
brother Abel much more than they love thee, and wish to join him
in marriage to thy beautiful sister, because they love him; but
wish to join thee in marriage to his ill-favoured sister,
because they hate thee;
11 "Now, therefore, I counsel thee, when they do that, to kill
thy brother; then thy sister will be left for thee; and his
sister will be cast, away."
12 And Satan departed from him. But the wicked One remained
behind in the heart of Cain, who sought many a time, to kill his
brother.
=====================================================
CHAP. LXXVII.
Cain, 15 years old, and Abel 12 years old, grow apart.
BUT when Adam saw that the elder brother hated the younger, he
endeavoured to soften their hearts, and said unto Cain, "Take, O
my son, of the fruits of thy sowing, and make an offering unto
God, that He may forgive thee thy wickedness and thy sin."
2 He said also to Abel, "Take thou of thy sowing and make an
offering and bring it to God, that He may forgive thy wickedness
and thy sin."
3 Then Abel hearkened unto his father's voice, and took of his
sowing, and made a good offering, and said to his father, Adam,
"Come with me, to show me how to offer it up."
4 And they went, Adam and Eve with him, and showed him how to
offer up his gift upon the altar. Then after that, they stood up
and prayed that God would accept Abel's offering.
5 Then God looked upon Abel and accepted his offering. And
p. 56
[paragraph continues] God was more pleased with Abel than with
his offering, because of his good heart and pure body. There was
no trace of guile in him.
6 Then they came down from the altar, and went to the cave in
which they dwelt. But Abel, by reason of his joy at having made
his offering, repeated it three times a week, after the example
of his father Adam.
7 But as to Cain, he took no pleasure in offering; but after
much anger on his father's part, he offered up his gift once;
and when he did offer up, his eye was on the offering he made,
and he took the smallest of his sheep for an offering, and his
eye was again on it. '
8 Therefore God did not accept his offering, because his heart
was full of murderous thoughts.
9 And they all thus lived together in the cave in which Eve had
brought forth, until Cain was fifteen years old, and Abel twelve
years old.
==================================================
CHAP. LXXVIII.
Jealousy overcomes Cain. He makes trouble in the family. How the
first murder was planned.
THEN Adam said to Eve, "Behold the children are grown up; we
must think of finding wives for them."
2 Then Eve answered, "How can we do it?"
3 Then Adam said to her, "We will join Abel's sister in marriage
to Cain, and Cain's sister to Abel."
4 Then said Eve to Adam, "I do not like Cain because he is
hard-hearted; but let them bide until we offer up unto the Lord
in their behalf."
5 And Adam said no more.
6 Meanwhile Satan came to Cain in the figure of a man of the
field, and said to him, "Behold Adam and Eve have taken counsel
together about the marriage of you two; and they have agreed to
marry Abel's sister to thee, and thy sister to him.
7 "But if it was not that I love thee, I would not have told
thee this thing. Yet if thou wilt take my advice, and hearken to
me, I will bring: thee on thy wedding day beautiful robes, gold
and silver in plenty, and my relations will attend thee."
8 Then Cain said with joy, "Where are thy relations?"
9 And Satan answered, "My relations are in a garden in the
north, whither I once meant to bring thy father Adam; but he
would not accept my offer.
10 "But thou, if thou wilt receive my words and if thou wilt
come unto me after thy wedding, thou shalt rest from the misery
in which thou art; and thou shalt rest and be better off than
thy father Adam."
11 At these words of Satan Cain opened his ears, and leant
towards his speech.
12 And he did not remain in the field, but he went to Eve, his
mother, and beat her, and cursed her, and said to her, "Why are
ye about taking my sister to wed her to my brother? Am I dead""
13 His mother, however, quieted him, and sent him to the field
where be had been.
14 Then when Adam came, she told him of what Cain had done.
15 But Adam grieved and held his peace, and said not a word.
16 Then on the morrow Adam said unto Cain his son, "Take of thy
sheep, young and good, and offer them up unto thy God; and I
will speak to thy brother, to make unto his God an offering of
corn."
17 They both hearkened to their father Adam, and they
p. 57
took their offerings, and offered them up on the mountain by the
altar.
18 But Cain behaved haughtily towards his brother, and thrust
him from the altar, and would not let him offer up his gift upon
the altar; but he offered his own upon it, with a proud heart,
full of guile, and fraud.
19 But as for Abel, he set up stones that were near at hand, and
upon that, he offered up his gift with a heart humble and free
from guile.
20 Cain was then standing by the altar on which he had offered
up his gift; and he cried unto God to accept his offering; but
God did not accept it from him; neither did a divine fire come
down to consume his offering.
21 But he remained standing over against the altar, out of
humour and wroth, looking towards his brother Abel, to see if
God would accept his offering or not.
22 And Abel prayed unto God to accept his offering. Then a
divine fire came down and consumed his offering. And God smelled
the sweet savour of his offering; because Abel loved Him and
rejoiced in Him.
23 And because God was well pleased with him He sent him an
angel of light in the figure of man who had partaken of his
offering, because He had smelled the sweet savour of his
offering, and they comforted Abel and strengthened his heart.
24 But Cain was looking on all that took place at his brother's
offering, and was wroth on account of it.
25 Then he opened his mouth and blasphemed God, because He had
not accepted his offering.
26 But God said unto Cain, "Wherefore is thy countenance sad? Be
righteous, that I may accept thy offering. Not against
Me hast thou murmured, but against thyself."
27 And God said this to Cain in rebuke, and because He abhorred
him and his offering.
28 And Cain came down from the altar, his colour changed and of
a woeful countenance, and came to his father and mother and told
them all that had befallen him. And Adam grieved much because
God had not accepted Cain's offering.
29 But Abel came down rejoicing, and with a gladsome heart, and
told his father and mother how God had accepted his offering.
And they rejoiced at it and kissed his face.
30 And Abel said to his father, "Because Cain thrust me from the
altar, and would not allow me to offer my gift upon it, I made
an altar for myself and offered my gift upon it."
31 But when Adam heard this he was very sorry, because it was
the altar he had built at first, and upon which he had offered
his own gifts.
32 As to Cain, he was so sullen and so angry that he went into
the field, where Satan came to him and said to him, "Since thy
brother Abel has taken refuge with thy father Adam, because thou
didst thrust him from the altar, they have kissed his face, and
they rejoice over him, far more than over thee."
33 When Cain heard these words of Satan, he was filled with
rage; and he let no one know. But he was laying wait to kill his
brother, until he brought him into the cave, and then said to
him:--
34 "O brother, the country is so beautiful, and there are such
beautiful and pleasurable trees in it, and charming to look at!
But brother, thou hast never been one day in the field to take
thy pleasure therein.
35 "To-day, O, my brother, I very much wish thou wouldest
p. 58
come with me into the field, to enjoy thyself and to bless our
fields and our flocks, for thou art righteous, and I love thee
much, O my brother! but thou hast estranged thyself from me."
36 Then Abel consented to go with his brother Cain into the
field.
37 But before going out, Cain said to Abel, "Wait for me, until
I fetch a staff, because of wild beasts."
38 Then Abel stood waiting in his innocence. But Cain, the
forward, fetched a staff and went out.
39 And they began, Cain and his brother Abel, to walk in the
way; Cain talking to him, and comforting him, to make him forget
everything.
======================================================
CHAP. LXXIX.
A wicked plan is carried to a tragic conclusion. Cain is
frightened. "Am I my brother's keeper?" The seven punishments.
Peace is shattered.
AND so they went on, until they came to a lonely place, where
there were no sheep; then Abel said to Cain, "Behold, my
brother, we are weary of walking; for we see none of the trees,
nor of the fruits, nor of the verdure, nor of the sheep, nor any
one of the things of which thou didst tell me. Where are those
sheep of thine thou didst tell me to bless?"
2 Then Cain said to him, "Come on, and presently thou shalt see
many beautiful things. but go before me, until I come up to
thee."
3 Then went Abel forward, but Cain remained behind him.
4 And Abel was walking in his innocence, without guile; not
believing his brother would kill him.
5 Then Cain, when he came up to him, comforted him with his
talk, walking a little behind him; then he hastened, and smote
him with the staff, blow upon blow, until he was stunned,
6 But when Abel fell down upon the ground, seeing that his
brother meant to kill him, he said to Cain, "O, my brother, have
pity on me. By the breasts we have sucked, smite me not! By the
womb that bare us and that brought us into the world, smite me
not unto death with that staff! If thou wilt kill me, take one
of these large stones, and kill me outright."
7 Then Cain, the hard-hearted, and cruel murderer, took a large
stone, and smote his brother with it upon the head, until his
brains oozed out, and he weltered in his blood, before him.
8 And Cain repented not of what he had done.
9 But the earth, when the blood of righteous Abel fell upon it,
trembled, as it drank his blood, and would have brought Cain to
naught for it.
10 And the blood of Abel cried mysteriously to God, to avenge
him of his murderer.
11 Then Cain began at once to dig the earth wherein to lay his
brother; for he was trembling from the fear that came upon him,
when he saw the earth tremble on his account.
12 He then cast his brother into the pit he made, and covered
him with dust. But the earth would not receive him; but it threw
him up at once.
13 Again did Cain dig the earth and hid his brother in it; but
again did the earth throw him up on itself; until three times
did the earth thus throw up on itself the body of Abel.
14 The muddy earth threw him up the first time, because he was
not the first creation; and it threw him up the second
p. 59
time and would not receive him, because he was righteous and
good, and was killed without a cause; and the earth threw him up
the third time and would not receive him, that there might
remain before his brother a witness against him.
15 And so did the earth mock Cain, until the Word of God, came
to him concerning his brother.
16 Then was God angry, and much displeased at Abel's death; and
He thundered from heaven, and lightnings went before Him, and
the Word of the Lord God came from heaven to Cain, and said unto
him, "Where is Abel thy brother?"
17 Then Cain answered with a proud heart and a gruff voice,
"How, O God? am I my brother's keeper?"
18 Then God said unto Cain, "Cursed be the earth that has drunk
the blood of Abel thy brother; and thou, be thou trembling and
shaking; and this will be a sign unto thee, that whosoever finds
thee, shall kill thee."
19 But Cain wept because God had said those words to him; and
Cain said unto Him "O God, whosoever finds me shall kill me, and
I shall be blotted out from the face of the earth."
20 Then God said unto Cain, "Whosoever shall find thee shall not
kill thee;" because before this, God had been saying to Cain, "I
shall forego seven punishments on him who kills Cain." For as to
the word of God to Cain, "Where is thy brother?" God said it in
mercy for him, to try and make him repent.
21 For if Cain had repented at that time, and had said, "O God,
forgive me my sin, and the murder of my brother," God would then
have forgiven him his sin.
22 And as to God saying to Cain, "Cursed be the ground that has
drunk the blood of thy brother" that also, was God's mercy on
Cain. For God did not curse him, but He cursed the ground;
although it was not the ground that had killed Abel, and had
committed iniquity.
23 For it was meet that the curse should fall upon the murderer;
yet in mercy did God so manage His thoughts as that no one
should know it, and turn away from Cain.
24 And He said to him, "Where is thy brother?" To which he
answered and said, "I know not." Then the Creator said to him,
"Be trembling and quaking."
25 Then Cain trembled and became terrified; and through this
sign did God make him an example before all the creation, as the
murderer of his brother. Also did God bring trembling and terror
upon him, that he might see the peace in which he was at first,
and see also the trembling and terror he endured at the last; so
that he might humble himself before God, and repent of his sin,
and seek the peace he enjoyed at first.
26 And in the word of God that said, "I will forego seven
punishments on whomsoever kills Cain," God was not seeking to
kill Cain with the sword, but He sought to make him die of
fasting, and praying and weeping by hard rule, until the time
that he was delivered from his sin.
27 And the seven punishments are the seven generations during
which God awaited Cain for the murder of his brother.
28 But as to Cain, ever since he had killed his brother, he
could find no rest in any place; but went back to Adam and Eve,
trembling, terrified, and defiled with blood. . . .
=====================================================
THE SECOND BOOK OF
Adam and Eve
CHAP. I.
The grief stricken family. Cain marries Luluwa and they move
away.
WHEN Luluwa heard Cain's words, she wept and went to her father
and mother, and told them how that Cain had killed his brother
Abel.
2 Then they all cried aloud and lifted up their voices, and
slapped their faces, and threw dust upon their heads, and rent
asunder their garments, and went out and came to the place where
Abel was killed.
3 And they found him lying on the earth, killed, and beasts
around him; while they wept and cried because of this just one.
From his body, by reason of its purity, went forth a smell of
sweet spices.
4 And Adam carried him, his tears streaming down his face; and
went to the Cave of Treasures, where he laid him, and wound him
up with sweet spices and myrrh.
5 And Adam and Eve continued by the burial of him in great grief
a hundred and forty days. Abel was fifteen and a half years old,
and Cain seventeen years and a half.
6 As for Cain, when the mourning for his brother was ended, he
took his sister Luluwa and married her, without leave from his
father and mother; for they could not keep him from her, by
reason of their heavy heart.
7 He then went down to the bottom of the mountain, away from the
garden, near to the place where he had killed his brother.
8 And in that place were many fruit trees and forest trees. His
sister bare him children, who in their turn began to multiply by
degrees until they filled that place.
9 But as for Adam and Eve, they came not together after Abel's
funeral, for seven years. After this, however, Eve conceived;
and while she was with child, Adam said to her "Come, let us
take an offering and offer it up unto God, and ask Him to give
us a fair child, in whom we may find comfort, and whom we may
join in marriage to Abel's sister."
10 Then they prepared an offering and brought it up to the
altar, and offered it before the Lord, and began to entreat Him
to accept their offering, and to give them a good offspring.
11 And God heard Adam and accepted his offering. Then, they
worshipped, Adam, Eve, and their daughter, and came down to the
Cave of Treasures and placed a lamp in it, to burn by night and
by day, before the body of Abel.
12 Then Adam and Eve continued fasting and praying until Eve's
time came that she should be delivered, when she said to Adam:
"I wish to go to the cave in the rock, to bring forth in it."
13 And he said, "Go and take with thee thy daughter to wait on
thee; but I will remain in this Cave of Treasures before
p. 61
the body of my son Abel."
14 Then Eve hearkened to Adam, and went, she and her daughter.
But Adam remained by himself in the Cave of Treasures.

part three
===================================================
CHAP. II.
A third son is born to Adam and Eve.
AND Eve brought forth a son perfectly beautiful in figure and in
countenance. His beauty was like that of his father Adam, yet
more beautiful.
2 Then Eve was comforted when she saw him, and remained eight
days in the cave; then she sent her daughter unto Adam to tell
him to come and see the child and name him. But the daughter
stayed in his place by the body of her brother, until Adam
returned. So did she.
3 But when Adam came and saw the child's good looks, his beauty,
and his perfect figure, he rejoiced over him, and was comforted
for Abel. Then he named the child Seth, that means, "that God
has heard my prayer, and has delivered me out of my affliction."
But it means also "power and strength."
4 Then after Adam had named the child, he returned to the Cave
of Treasures; and his daughter went back to her mother.
5 But Eve continued in her cave, until forty days were
fulfilled, when she came to Adam, and brought with her the child
and her daughter.
6 And they came to a river of water, where Adam and his daughter
washed themselves, because of their sorrow for Abel; but Eve and
the babe washed for purification.
7 Then they returned, and took an offering, and went to the
mountain and offered it up, for the babe; and God accepted their
offering, and sent His blessing upon them, and upon their son
Seth; and they came back to the Cave of Treasures.
8 As for Adam, he knew not again his wife Eve, all the days of
his life; neither was any more offspring born of them; but only
those five, Cain, Luluwa, Abel, Aklia, and Seth alone.
9 But Seth waxed in stature and in strength; and began to fast
and pray, fervently.

so what is this all about ?
just like "today's" world doesn't understand the role of EVE as
the first wife ;
niether do they understand the first children
Genesis 1:27 New King James Version (NKJV)
27 So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He
created him; male and female He created them.
THE BIRTH OF CAIN
THE BIRTH OF ABEL
both created male and female
now there is a mistake in this book;
for it is Luluwa {the more beautiful} who is the twin sister of
ABEL
she is the reason that CAIN killed ABEL
THEN it is from her linage that the fallen angels of genesis
six; saw that the daughters of men were beautiful
for those who know the story ~* does the story of psyche and
cupid manke more sence now?
in matthew five ; JESUS TALKS ABOUT ; { IN ORDER} OF
1- MURDER
2- ADULTRY
3- DIVORCE
the reason for such an order is the following story
1- CAIN KILLS ABEL {MURDER}
******************************* ABEL IS THE PROTOTYPE OF JEW
******************************* THEY DON'T INTERMARRY
2- CAIN MARRIES LULUWA { ABEL'S SOULMATED TWIN SISTER} {ADULRTY}
******************************* THIS LINE IS THE PROTOTYPE OF
HEATHENS
******************************* AS THEY INTERMARRY AGAINST GOD'S
WILL
******************************* WE SEE THIS AGAIN WITH NIMROD
******************************* CROSSING OVER THE LANDS OF SHEM
******************************* INTO THE LANDS OF JAPHETH
3- THIS LEAVES {FEMALE CAIN ie,} ALKEMIA DIVORCED
*** GOD STEPS IN ......
SETH IS BORN MALE ONLY; AND HE MARRIES {F-cain} ALKEMIA
******************************* THIS IS THE PROTOTYPE OF GENTILE
******************************* THEY INTERMARRY IN GOD'S WILL
IT IS THIS SETH- ALKEMIA { F- CAIN} FROM WHICH THE LINE OF NOAH
WILL COME THROUGH
THIS MAKES EVERY POST-FLOOD PERSON STARTING OUT AS A "GENTILE"
SO NOW WE CAN SEE THE VERSE ;
Ezekiel 14:14 New King James Version (NKJV)
14 Even if these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it,
they would deliver only themselves by their righteousness,” says
the Lord God.
NOAH; a gentile
DANIEL; a JEW
JOB; a HEATHEN, as he decends from ESAU who married outside of
the family ( as Sarah plainly states )
QUESTION ;
what is a soulmate?
why was it said it is a sin to look at another lustfully?
pondering this story -- should give you a new view on these
questions!!!
