On the eighth day the Lord called down to Astanphaeus, and the Lord spoke to Astaphaeus, saying unto him, “Say to the people of the earth, ‘You shall not approach a woman to uncover her nakedness while she is in her menstrual uncleanness. 2 And you shall not lie sexually with your neighbor’s wife and so make yourself unclean with her. You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination. 3 You shall not lie with any animal and so make yourself unclean with it, neither shall any woman give herself to an animal to lie with it: it is perversion. 4 And just as this you shall not lie with any angel and so make yourself unclean with it, and you shall not lie with any angel as with a woman; it is an abomination. 5 And it is a spurn of the heavens, and it is the mightiest of many sins. 6 For it is the destruction of the covenant of the Lord, that which I made with you upon the ending of the flood, and that which I made with Noah so thatI would not destroy the world again. 7 And do not make yourselves unclean by any of these things, for by all these the nations I am driving out before you have become unclean, and the land became unclean, so that I punished its inquiry, and the land vomited out its inhabitants. And these inhabitants spilled out upon the earth. 8 But you shall keep my statutes and my rules and do none of these abominations, either the native or the stranger who sojourns among you (for the people of the land, who were before you, did all of these abominations, so that the land became unclean), 9 lest the land vomit you out when you make it unclean, as it vomited out the nation that was before you, and you will spill out upon the earth and you will spill out and into the ocean. For everyone who does any of these abominations, the persons who do them shall be cut off from among their people, and they will no longer be able to speak to those that they once believed to be their people. 10 So keep my charge never to practice any of these abominable customs that were practiced before you, and never to make yourselves unclean by them: I am the Lord your God, and my word is power, and I have said these things.’” 11 And the Lord spoke to Astanphaeus, saying unto him, “Speak to all of the congregation of the people of this earth and say to them, ‘You shall be holy, for I the Lord your God am holy. Every one of you shall revere his mother and his father, and you shall keep my Sabbaths: I am the Lord your God. 12 Do not turn to idols or make for yourselves any gods of cast metal: I am the Lord your God. 13 When you offer a sacrifice of peace offerings to the Lord, you shall offer it so that you may be accepted. It shall be eaten the same day you offer it or on the day after, and anything left over until the third day shall be burned up with fire. 14 If it is eaten at all on the third day, it is tainted; it will not be accepted, and everyone who eats it shall bear his inquiry, because he has profaned what is holy to the Lord, and that person shall be cut off from his people. When you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not reap your field right up to its edge, neither shall you gather the gleanings after you harvest. 15 And you shall not strip your vineyard bare, neither shall you gather the fallen grapes of your vineyard. You shall leave the m for the poor and for the sojourner: I am the Lord your God. 16 “‘And you shall not offer up your grapes or any of your crop or any of your animals to that of an angel, for you are to only offer upm that which you create and that which you bear to the Lord your God, for I am the Lord your God. 17 And you shall not offer up crops or animals to a man, for you shall only do it to the Lord. And I tell you that no man is to lie with an angel of a man as though it were a woman, for it is an abomination.’” 18 And Astanphaeus replied to the Lord, saying unto him, “For these things are o, and they are so forever and ever, for you are the Lord my God, and I lie at your feet as a I wait for the coming of the end of days and the coming of the kingdom of heaven. 19 But I ask of you, when will this come, for I await eagerly. And I wish to see the coming of the kingdom of heaven so that I may laugh in the face of the wicked.” 20 So the Lord replied to Astanphaeus, saying unto him, “For no angel in heaven, nor no man on earth, nor any even the locked gates of heaven know the month or the day. For it is so, and this is to be so, for if man knew the day then he would wait in anticipation, and man would go mad for the coming of the end of the world and the coming of the kingdom of heaven. 21 And I tell you this as well, that there will come a time when an angel of the heavens attempts to lie with a woman of the earth, and this will be the downfall of humanity. 22 And it will cause the heavens to weep, for man will be removed from his garden and it will be the end of the days of pleasure for man. He will have to toil for all that he does, and he will have to pick from the fruit of the tree and watch for the pricking thorns. 23 He will have to cut away at the weeds that grow in the ground when he grows his crop. And he will be doomed to toil in all that he does, and he will be doomed to fall short of the glory of God.” 24 And Astanphaeus replied to the Lord, saying unto him, “What are weeds and what are thorns? For man grows ever closer to the glory of God.”

And upon the advent of the twelfth day, there came down the serpent for his third time into the Garden of Eden, and the Lord watched from the heavens as he spoke to the woman, Eve. 2 And the woman said unto the serpent, “What is it that you do here, for I have seen you come down twice before and I have spoken to you twice before. What is it that you deeply desire?” 3 And there the serpent tempted Eve, and he said unto her that she could become like God. 4 And he said unto her that if she were to eat the fruit of the tree then she would see the things that the Lord sees, and that she would have many things revealed to her, and that the heavens would open up for her in all of their glory. 5 The woman asked a second time, saying unto him, “What is it that you deeply desire? For I have seen you look at me from the tree as I consume the fruit from all of the other trees.” 6 And the serpent spoke to the woman, saying unto her, “I desire you.” Then the serpent transmuted his body, and there he became a man who sat upon the limb of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. 7 Then the serpent stretched out his hand, saying unto her, “For I can give you all that which you desire if you allow me one night with you.” 8 The woman spoke against the words of the serpent, who was a man, saying unto him, “How could I do such a thing, for I am the wife of Adam.” 9 And the serpent said, “Did the Lord really say ‘You may not eat from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil’?” 10 So when the Lord came down to the earth he saw that the woman had run away to be with the serpent, and he saw that the fruit laid upon the grass with two bites taken out of it, for the man and the woman had both eaten from the tree. 11 For the serpent had tempted the woman, and the woman had tricked the man, and the man felt betrayed by the woman. 12 And when the man saw that the Lord had entered the garden, he called out the Lord, saying unto him, “My God, my God! Look at what has happened, for I have been tricked by the woman and I have been forced to eat from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil.” 13 But the Lord spoke to Adam,s saying unto him, “Why have you clothed yourself, for you have made clothing for yourself out of fig leaves. How do you know that you are naked?” 14 And Adam, who had already told the Lord what had happened within the Garden of Eden, was upset. 15 When the Lord heard from Eve what had happened, he was upset, and thus he cursed the serpent and he cursed the woman and he cursed the man. 16 And when he cursed the serpent he cursed him so that he may only slither upon the ground and so that he would writhe like a worm, and he cursed the serpent so that it may only eat dust while it was on its belly. 17 Then when the serpent spoke out against the Lord, the Lord sealed his mouth, and so the only thing that the serpent could say against the Lord was, “Cursed are you, for you have tortured my soul.” 18 And when the serpent was cast out of heaven, and when the man and the woman were cast out of the Garden of Eden, 19 the heavens revealed Astanphaeus, who descended down to the earth so that he may speak to the serpent. 20 When Astanphaeus came to the serpent, the serpent spoke out against him; and at this time the serpent had transmuted his body once again. “Oh, for where have you come from, son of the dawn? 21 Has the Lord, the God Above, sent you down from the heavens so that you may speak to me? Have you come to mock me, and to scoff at me, and to tell me that I am a fool for tempting man?” 22 Then Astanphaeus spoke to him. “I have seen what you have done, for I was alongside the Lord as he watched you tempt the woman and as he watched the man and the woman eat from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. So I ask you, 23 why have you done this? Have you done it so that you may gain power in the heavens, have you done it so that you may be removed from the heavens so that you fall on your back on the jagged rocks on the earth below? 24 Have you not seen the lacerations that have come upon your back for your transgressions? 25 Do you not feel the blood that pours down your back, and for you have put the weight of a thousand sins on the back of man. You have put these chains on the hands of man so that he may be tied down to sin, and because of this you have cursed him. 26 Though the curse has come from the mouth of the Lord, you are the one that has cursed him.” 27 So the serpent spoke against the words that came out of Astanphaeus’ mouth, saying unto him, “How you have fallen to the weight of your hypocrisy. For it has been revealed to me that soon you will fall out of the grace of the Lord, just as I have. For though I am the first, I am not the last. And with me there will come many angels, 28 all that will fall down to the earth and out of the grace of the Lord that extends to all of his angels within the heavens. For the hosts of the heavens shall fall, for the Lord will dispose of those who he has used to their fullness. 29 And how can you blame me, for have you not seen the flesh of the woman, Eve? For she is the most beautiful of all the Lord’s creations, second only to I. 30 Such desire for a creature such as she is only natural.” 31 Then, there and upon a field of open grass, Astanphaeus rebuked the serpent, saying, “How terribly you have fallen from the grace of the Lord, for you speak fallacies that torture my ears. 32 For there will come a time when the host of heaven will defeat you and your angels that you claim will fall with you, and there will come a time when the beast will be defeated and all of the heavens will proclaim the glory of the Lord your God. 33 For though you rebuked the Lord, you will be subservient to his hand in the coming days.” 34 Then the serpent attempted to speak against Astanphaeus, but he was silenced by the heavens. And Astanphaeus spoke again, saying unto him, “I have seen the end of the world, and I have seen the destruction of this earth. 35 For you are a Watcher, who has been turned into a creature of the earth, for your lust for the woman of the earth has turned you into a being of flesh. 36 And though you have transmuted your flesh, you have not escaped this curse of the heavens. 37 So hear now, the second curse of the heavens, that which will stain your flesh and make you a creature of the earth. For the Lord has said, ‘You shall not lie with any angel as with a woman; it is an abomination.’ And indeed you have made yourself an abomination of the heavens. 38 You have become a curse to the host of the heavens, and you have become the heaven-sent gift unto the earth. 39 And it is so that there will be no angels that cry in heaven for your fall, but the Lord will shed only one tear and he will not weep.”

Then the Lord sent down Gabriel, who is over Paradise and the serpents and the Cherubim, 2 to drive the serpent out of the lands. And as Gabriel drove the serpent out of the lands he said unto him, 3 “You who was once called Samiel, who was once called Lucifer of the mighty heavens, you are to be given a new name. 4 Upon you I will write the number six of six of six, and on your back I will brand you with the scar of the heavens. 5 And hereby you will be called Satan, the accuser, for you are the first of the Watchers. So take with you Ramiel, who has spoken out against the Lord as well, he who was once the creator of alchemy alongside the Lord and he who was once at his right hand. 6 And call him the name that he wishes to be called, so that he is no longer associated with the hosts of the heavens. 7 I drive you out of the land of Eden, and out of the land of Ur, and out of the land of Uz, and out of all the lands that you may call home, for you will be cursed to wander the earth forever.” 8 When the time came, the many Watchers of the heavens fell also. And their names were Ra, Osiris, Isis, Horus, Set, Anubis, Thoth, Hathor, Bastet, Sekhmet, Ptah, Amun, Ma'at, Nephthys, Sobek, Khonsu, Geb, Nut, Shu, Tefnut, Taweret, Serqet, Hapi, Montu, Wepwawet, Seshat, Nefertum, Renenutet, Bes, Khepri, Marduk, Enlil, Ea, Anu, Ishtar, Tiamat, Nergal, Shamash, Sin, Ereshkigal, Adad, Ninurta, Dumuzi, Kishar, Lahmu, Lahamu, Ninhursag, Ashur, Bel, Zababa, Gula, Nisaba; 9 but these are not all of the names of the Watchers, for they were many. And when they descended upon the earth they took for themselves wives, and they bore forth their sons, who were the Nephilim, and who were giants among the many men of the earth. 10 And at this time there was the chosen man Noah, who was sent to live through the flood and be protected by the Lord your God in the heavens. 11 And when the angels of the heavens waged war against the Nephilim, who were a testament against the Lord your God, their corpses were thrown about the earth and they became one with the earth again. 12 And yet many of the Watchers have been killed by the angels of the heavens, for the Lord has sent down his soldiers so that they may dispose of these creatures that squirm about the earth. 13 But the first of the Watchers, who was Satan, who was that serpent, had not yet been destroyed by the Lord. 14 But within the curse of the serpent the Lord did declare that soon the serpent would be crushed by the heel of Adam and by the heels of his children. 15 So the angel Michael prophesied from the mouth of the Lord, saying that these things would be said, and too he said, “They sacrificed to demons that were no gods, to gods they had never known, to new gods that had come recently. And all of these were the demons of the night, who had plagued the earth, and who spread about the earth like fire; and these were the Watchers, and these were the sons of the heavens, and these were those who were too like Satan.” 16 And the Watchers that escaped the hands of the angels of the heavens were trapped within Tartarus, where they were to be kept within the depths forever. 17 When Adam left the Garden of Eden he spoke against the words of the Lord, saying unto him, “How you have cast me out for something that I have never done, and how you have condemned me for the fault of the woman.” 18 And the Lord replied, saying unto him, “You are a fool for believing that you have played no part in this. For though you have been tricked by the woman you have sought out the power of God as well. And you have destroyed yourself. 19 And you have destroyed the beauty of this earth and all the glory that was once within it. For you have brought death into the world, and you have brought sin into the world. But I have told you that soon you will crush the head of the serpent, and you will destroy the evil that transgresses against you. 20 I will create for you and your children guardian angels, of whom will protect you from the death that waits in the corners of this earth; but they will not always protect you, for your time will come and you will be swallowed up by the earth. 21 And you will not be he who crushes the head of the serpent, for the coming descendant of your sons will be he who defeats the serpent and brings the glory of the heavens down to the silent earth.” 22 The Lord looked down upon all the earth, and he spoke out to the angels that were about him, saying unto them, “Look at how these stars have fallen out of the sky, and look at how the glory of the Lord your God has left them. 23 Let us then call them demons, and let us call them archons, and let us call them aeons, for they no longer are a part of the host of the heavens. And let us say that there are only so many that can enter the gates of heaven on a given day, that number being seven, 24 and let us say that there are those that never enter the gates of heaven, and they will be barred from its gates so that they must wander the earth forever. 25 But let us say that when there is holy council, that is when I call upon the host of the heavens, and when I say, ‘For who is to be here who will stand against me?’, it is so that my star of the dawn, he who I once called my morning star, that is Samiel, that is Lucifer, who is now Satan, may enter the gates of heaven. 26 But he may only speak to me when he enters the gates of heaven, for he is forbidden from speaking to any of the angels that wait in heaven for the coming of the end of days.” 27 Then Astanphaeus spoke to the Lord when he was in the heavens, saying unto him, “Look down on the ground and see that there is one man who you find favor in, and say that he is good and pure, and say that he is who you praise.” And the Lord chose Abram. 28 And when the Lord had done what he had wanted to do with Abram, and when Abram was now called Abraham, and when the Binding of Isaac had been broken and there then came the covenant with Abraham, Astanphaeus spoke to the Lord when he was in the heavens a second time, saying unto him, “Look down on the ground and see that there is one man who you find favor in, and say that he is good and pure, and say that he is who you praise.” And the Lord chose Apason, who was from the land of Nod. 29 When the Lord had chosen Apason Astanphaeus appeared before Apason, saying, “Glory be to the Lord of the heavens, the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac, who has chosen you to be an emissary of prophecy for the lord, so that you may a prophet to all of the nations. 30 You are to build an altar unto the Lord, here in this land of Nod, and you are to travel out of the land of Nod and to the city of Baraba, where the Lord will show you a vision of the King of Babylon, who has fallen out of the heavens. 31 And there he will reveal to you the amalgamation of flesh, that which bites at your heels and which attempts to steal away the Lord, who will reside away in you. 32 But do not speak to anyone on your journey, for you may communicate in signs and signals, for no words are to come out of your mouth, for the Lord will seal it.” 33 And Apason said, “How is this so, for I am but an owner of a vineyard and I produce wine. For I have never been spoken to by the God of Abraham, a god that I do not know. I have never been within his temple.” 34 When Astanphaeus heard this he cried out against Apason, saying unto him, “When you create your altar unto the Lord he will give to you a Hebrew name, and this will be your new name, for you are to forget your old one. And when you build your altar you are to rebuke all the other gods and idols that you have worshipped, and you are to smash your figures. 35 For the Lord has spoken only once, and he has said to travel out of Nod and into Baraba. So be it.” 36 So Apason was directed by Astanphaeus, and he was shown to create his altar, and the Lord said that the altar was good, 37 and the Lord made a new covenant with Apason and gave him the name Caleb. And the Lord directed him out of the land of Nod and into the city of Baraba, where he stood before the gates. 37 There Caleb prayed before the gates of Baraba. There Caleb wept before the gates of Baraba. 38 And the Lord spoke unto Caleb. “Why does my child of the land of Nod weep, for you are the redeeming line of Cain, and you are the chosen child to bring about my justice. Why do you weep before the gates of Baraba?” 39 Then Caleb answered, saying unto the Lord, “For I have been brought out of my homeland, and I have been brought to a place that is alien to me. And I have been brought before a god that I do not know.” 40 So the Lord spoke to Caleb, saying unto him, “What is this that you speak of? I am the Lord your God, I am that is and I am what is to come. I am the God of storms, and I am the destroyer of the temples of all the terrors of the earth. 41 I am, and I will be. And this will be forever and ever, as it has been spoken in heaven and it is so.” 42 Then Caleb entered the city of Baraba, and there he came into the house of a woman named Dara, and so he was protected from the wicked men that lived within the city. 43 And when he was done within the city the Lord student down the angel Michael, who was an archangel in heaven, 44 and Caleb brought Dara out of the city. Caleb and Dara entered into the desert, and Michael waged war against the city of Baraba; 45 so Michael killed all of the men of Baraba, and he killed the women as well, and he killed the children as well.

The Lord sent down Astanphaeus, who appeared before Caleb, and he revealed many things to him. 2 And the first of these things he revealed was a vision, that which was the king of Babylon, which was the morning star. And he revealed the child of the dawn, who is the morning star, and who is Lucifer, and who is Satan, and who was once Samiel. 3 Then the Lord revealed a vision of him falling out of the heavens, and how the serpent had fallen upon jagged rocks, and how his back became lacerated and his blood spilled upon the ground to bring forth wheat, and this wheat withered. 4 And then the Lord revealed another vision of the morning star, who had tempted the woman within the Garden of Eden, and that had betrayed the man, 5 and that had betrayed the Lord and attempted to indulge in the body of the woman. 6 And the lord showed Caleb what the morning star had done, and how he had come down from the tree in the form of the serpent, 7 and how he had twisted about a branch of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil and how he had been a tempter to the woman. Caleb was shown how the serpent had been cast out of the land of Eden, and how he had been cast out of the land of Ur, and Uz, and too also Nod. 8 Then the Lord revealed to Caleb the vision of the morning star, that which was once in the heavens, and that was above all the other stars within the heavens. And a voice came from the heavens, saying, “Where has the star of the mourning heavens fallen? 9 For I do not hear its song any longer. For where has it fallen; I must scoop it from the earth so I may coddle it like a lost and orphaned child. Where is this star of the night, the wayward beast of the heavens whose lacerated back bleeds unendingly? 10 Where have all of these stars gone, for they have fallen into the far mountains. Where has the dearest child of the Lord, 11 that which had been within the heavens and that which was chief among all the stars, gone? 12 It has been removed from its post, and it has been denied its returnal. For the mouth of the Lord your God has spoken.” 13 There then was the sound of a trumpet of the Lord, and the visions of the heavens had been swept away. Still the Lord revealed another vision to Caleb, and the voice of the Lord came down from the heavens, saying unto Caleb, 14 “You shall encourage others who follow the path of god. You shall not take advantage of fools, children or others willing to believe every word you say. 15 You shall hold faith. You shall live life humbly. You shall not question God or God's word. You shall not do to others what you wouldn't want done to you. You shall remain committed to God and God's world. 16 You shall have consideration for all those weaker than you. You shall not unleash your anger onto others.”

Look there, for lo!, there are the angels of the heavens! 2 For they are what we call the cherubim and the seraphim, and they are the envoys of the Lord that is in heaven as well. 3 Here there is a divine revelation, which has been revealed to humanity through the mouth of the angel Autogenes, 4 who has come down multiple times. And for he is the one who has spoken to the Lord your God, and he has spoken to him on the matters of the rain and of the clouds and of the storms that go throughout the earth. 5 For it is these things that make the earth go about itself, and it is these things that make it so that the plants of the earth grow and so that the world may continue to live within itself. 6 For the angel Autogenes has asked the Lord, “What is the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil?”, and the Lord has responded to him. 7 So then the angel Autogenes came down to the earth, and there he revealed himself to the man named Seth, who is the third son of Adam, and he spoke to him saying what the Lord had once said to him when he proposed such a question. 8 So the angel Autogenes said this: “For you know that your father, Adam, was the one who ate of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, and you know that when he tasted it before him he was revealed the Tree and many other Trees that have been from the emanations of the Lord. 9 And though you know that the next of the Tree is good, you should not eat from it, and you know that the nectar tastes like honey. 10 You know that if you eat from it then you will damn yourself, and your spirit will be destroyed and all of these things will be taken away from you. 11 And you will have to ask for a surrogate, for in that way you will be saved through the Lord through your surrogate. And although you will understand these things of life and death, and although you understand part of the secrets of the heavens, 12 you alone will condemn yourself for the things that you have done. But because you yourself have not eaten from the Tree, you have partially been saved. 13 But because your father has eaten from the Tree, and because your mother has eaten from the Tree as well, you have been damned in all ways for the sins of your father and the sins of your mother. 14 “So if you find yourself before the Tree, and if you see that the fruit of the Tree is good, do not eat from it, for you will doom yourself in full and you will be destroyed by your own doing. 15 You will be destroyed by the work of your mouth and you will be destroyed by the work of your hands. And for when you toil in the soil and you work on the soil and plant your seeds within the soil then you will be destroyed.
