been weaned. After
they were weaned, Adam made an offering for the souls of his children
in addition to the three times every week he made an offering for them.

11 When the children were weaned, Eve again conceived, and when her
pregnancy came to term, she gave birth to another son and daughter.
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 treated them, as he had previously treated 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
these children were born, Eve stopped having children.

Chapter LXXVI - Cain becomes jealous of Abel because of his sisters.

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

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

3 But, as to Abel, he had a meek heart, and was obedient to his father

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?"

5 Then Adam told him all that had befallen them. And Abel felt deeply

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.

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."

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,
