189. Our mother HAWAo and [our father] ADAM


190-191. Were gently offered(19l)
The fruits of the Garden(190)


192-194. They were told 1ucidly(194)


To guard their feet(193)
And their mouths against The Tree(192)
19~. IBLls who was cursed by God
19~. And who was truly in distress
197-198. Stood near(198)
The gate of the Garden(197)



  1. He was chased with a stick by a worthy one

  2. But, a serpent took [IBLYS's message] in its mouth
    201-203. And went, carrying its evil(203)


And stood at the door of HAWk' (202)


who never repudiated ADAM(201)

[The words of IBLISto I-rAWAO]


20'4. 0 exal ted one, you are noble
