Chapter XLIX
Text | Commentary |
1Six days after Adam died, Eve, realizing that her own death was near, called all her sons and daughers together – that is, Seth with his thirty brothers and thirty sisters. 2And Eve said to all of them, Listen to me, my children, and I will tell you what the archangel Michael said to us when your father and I transgressed the command of God. 3Because of your transgression, he said, our Lord will bring on your race the anger of his judgement, first by water, the second time by fire: by these two things will the Lord judge the whole human race.
