Eve’s address to her children (1)

Text
After Adam died, Eve gathered Seth and her other children together and reported what the archangel Michael told to her and her husband.

Life of Adam and Eve 49-50:
Because of your collusion, our Lord will bring over your race the wrath of his judgement, first by water and then by fire; by these two the Lord will judge the whole human race. But listen to me, my children! Make now tablets of stone and other tablets of clay and write all my life and your father’s which you have heard and seen from us. If he should judge our race by water, the tablets of earth will dissolve and the tablets of stone will remain; but if he should judge our race by fire, the tablets of stone will break up and those of clay will be thoroughly baked.
