The Second Book of Adam and Eve 2 — Chapter 2 — A third son is born to Adam and Eve.

The Second Book of Adam and Eve · Restored Names Edition · first paragraph

1AND Eve brought forth a son perfectly beautiful in figure and in countenance. His beauty was like that of his father Adam, yet more beautiful.

2Then Eve was comforted when she saw him, and remained eight days in the cave; then she sent her daughter unto Adam to tell him to come and see the child and name him. But the daughter stayed in his place by the body of her brother, until Adam returned. So did she.

3But when Adam came and saw the child's good looks, his beauty, and his perfect figure, he rejoiced over him, and was comforted for Abel. Then he named the child Seth, that means, "that Elohim (God) has heard my prayer, and has delivered me out of my affliction." But it means also "power and strength."

That is the first paragraph of The Second Book of Adam and Eve 2
