1Now look again in the picture, and see who it is who seduced Eve,
2and what is the fruit of the Tree, and you will know what is to be,
3and how it shall be with your seed among the people at the end of the days of the age.
4All that you cannot understand I will make known to you for you are well-pleasing in my sight,
5and I will tell you of those things which are kept in my heart.
6And I looked into the picture, and my eyes ran to the side of the Garden of Eden,
7and I saw there a man of imposing height and mighty in stature1, incomparable in aspect,
8and he was embracing a woman, who likewise approximated to the aspect of his size and stature.
9And they were standing under a tree of the Garden of Eden,
10and the fruit of this tree was like a bunch of grapes of the vine.
11Standing behind the tree was one who had the aspect of a Serpent having hands and feet like those of a man2,
12and wings on its shoulders, six pairs of wings, so that there were six wings on the right and six on the left.
13And as I continued looking, I saw the man and the woman eating the fruit from the tree.
14And I said: “Who are these who are embracing, who is the one between them who is behind the tree,
15and what is the fruit that they are eating?”.
16And He said: “This is the human world, this one is Adam, and this one is his desire upon the earth, Eve.
17But he who is between them represents ungodliness and their beginnings on the way to perdition, Azazel.”
18And I said: “0 ETERNAL Mighty One! Why have you given such as him the power to destroy the generations of men in their works upon the earth?”.
19And He said to me: “Those who will to do evil over them I gave him power, even to be beloved of them.”
20And I answered and said: “0 ETERNAL Mighty One! Why is it Your will that evil should be desired in the hearts of men?
21If You are angry about what You see, 21 which is Thy will, why are You angry with those who do what is not profitable in Your judgment?”
