says that Adam knew Eve thirty years after they went forth from Paradise.] And Eve conceived and brought forth Cain and Lebhidha, his sister, with him; and Eve conceived again and she brought forth Habhil (Abel) and Kelimath, his sister, with him. [Note: The Book of the Bee makes Kelimath the twin sister of Cain, and Lebhidha the twin sister of Abel.] And when the children grew up, Adam said unto Eve, "Let Cain take to wife Kelimath, who was brought forth with Abel, and let Abel take to wife Lebhidha, who was brought forth with Cain." And Cain said unto Eve his mother, "I will take to wife my twin sister Lebhidha, and let Abel take to wife his twin sister Kelimath"; now Lebhidha was beautiful. When Adam heard these words, which were exceedingly displeasing unto him, he said: It will be a transgression of the commandment for thee to take [to wife] thy sister, who was born with thee. Nevertheless, take ye to yourselves fruits of trees, and the young of sheep, and get ye up to the top [Fol. 8a, col. 2] of this holy mountain. Then go ye into the Cave of Treasures, and offer ye up your offerings, and make your prayers, and then ye shall consort with your wives.

And when they came down to the plain, Cain rose up against his brother Abel, and he killed him with a blow from a stone of flint. Then straightway Cain received the doom of death, instead of curses, and he became a fugitive and a wanderer all the days of his life. And God drove him forth into exile in a certain part of the forest of Nôdh, and Cain took to wife his twin sister and made the place of his abode there. [Note: Adam carried Abel to the Cave of Treasures and buried him therein, and he set by the side of the body a lamp which burned day and night. Abel was fifteen and a half years old when Cain, who was seventeen and a half years old, murdered him. Adam and Eve mourned for Abel, in great grief, for one hundred and forty days. Book of Adam and Eve (II, 1)] The Birth of Seth And Adam and Eve mourned for Abel [Fol. 8b, col. 1] one hundred years (sic). And then Adam knew his wife again, and she brought forth Seth, the Beautiful, a man mighty and 31 of 130
