1 Adam and Eve Chapter 76
The Conflict of Adam and Eve with Satan

1 Adam and Eve 76:1

And the children began to grow stronger and taller; but Cain was hard-hearted, and ruled over his younger brother.

1 Adam and Eve 76:2

Often when his father made an offering, Cain would remain behind and not go with them, to offer up.

1 Adam and Eve 76:3

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.

1 Adam and Eve 76:4

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?"

1 Adam and Eve 76:5

Then Adam told him all that had befallen them. And Abel felt deeply about what his father told him.

1 Adam and Eve 76:6

Furthermore his father, Adam, told him of the works of God, and of the garden. After hearing that, Abel remained behind after his father left and stayed the whole of that night in the Cave of Treasures.

1 Adam and Eve 76:7

And that night, while he was praying, Satan appeared to him under the figure of a man, who said to him, "You have frequently moved your father into making offerings, fasting and praying, therefore I will kill you, and make you perish from this world."

1 Adam and Eve 76:8

But as for Abel, he prayed to God, and drove away Satan from him; and did not believe the words of the devil. Then when it was day, an angel of God appeared to him, who said to him, "Do not cut short either fasting, prayer, or offering up an offering to your God. For, look, the Lord had accepted your prayer. Be not afraid of the figure which appeared to you in the night, and who cursed you to death." And the angel departed from him.

1 Adam and Eve 76:9

Then when it was day, Abel came to Adam and Eve, and told them of the vision he had seen. When they heard it, they grieved much over it, but said nothing to him about it; they only comforted him.

1 Adam and Eve 76:10

But as to the hard-hearted Cain, Satan came to him by night, showed himself and said to him, "Since Adam and Eve love your brother Abel so much more than they love you, they wish to join him in marriage to your beautiful sister because they love him. However, they wish to join you in marriage to his ugly sister, because they hate you.

1 Adam and Eve 76:11

Now before they do that, I am telling you that you should kill your brother. That way your sister will be left for you, and his sister will be cast away."

1 Adam and Eve 76:12

And Satan departed from him. But the devil remained behind in Cain's heart, and frequently aspired to kill his brother.
