1He reveals certain mysteries of life. WHEN our father Adam saw that his end was near, he called his son Seth, who came to him in the Cave of Treasures, and he said unto him: -
2"0 Seth, my son bring me thy children and thy children's children, that I may shed my blessing on them ere I die."
3When Seth heard these words from his father Adam, he went from him, shed a flood of tears over his face, and gathered together his children and his children's children, and brought them to his father Adam.
4But when our father Adam saw them around him, he wept at having to be separated from them.
5And when they saw him weeping, they all wept together, and fell upon his face saying, "How shalt thou be severed from us, 0 our father? And how shall the earth receive thee and hide thee from our eyes?" Thus did they lament much, and in like words.
