(3) And when she had first covered her shame with fig-leaves, she gave thereof to Adam and he ate, and his eyes were opened, and he saw thathe was naked.

(26) Now when Adam eat of the Fruit, which was Good and Evil, then he suddenly got such a Body also. The Fruit was corrupt or perished, and palpable, as to this Day all Fruits now on Earth are; and so such a fleshly, and palpable, or comprehensible Body Adam and Eve got instantly.

(24) then it was Time that the Creator should frame a Wife for him, which afterwards set the Sin in Work, and did eat of the false, evil, or corrupt Fruit. Else if Adam had eaten of the Tree, before the Woman had been made out of him, then it would have been far worse than it is.

(3) And he tilled (the garden), and was naked and knew it not, and was not ashamed, and he protected the garden from the birds and beasts and cattle, and gathered tables are conceived of as the divine statute book of which the Mosaic Law is the earthly reproduction; but they also contain records of events and predictions. The underlying idea is predestinanan. 1 According to Bet. rabba xviii., Sank. 386, Adam was only six hours in the Garden ; cf. Ptrke de R. Eliezer xviii. (Adam entered the garden at the seventh hour and was driven forth at 'twilight, i. e. the twelfth hour on Friday the eve of the Sabbath). its fruit, and ate, and put aside the residue for him- self and for his wife [and put aside that which was bein£ kept].

(19) First, thou hast the bestial Flesh, which is come to be through the lustful longing Bit of the Apple, for it is the House of Corruption. For when Adam was made out of the corrupted Salitter of the Earth, that is, out of the Seed, or Mass, or Lump, which the Creator extracted out of the corrupted Earth, he was not then at first such Flesh, else his Body had been created mortal, but he had an angelical powerful Body, in which he should have subsisted eternally, and should have eat angelical [Tex. Mist.] Fruit, which grew for him in Paradise before his Fall, before the LORD cursed the Earth.

(20) But seeing the Seed, or Mass, or Lump, out of which Adam was made, was somewhat infected with the corrupt Disease or Malady of the Devil, Adam therefore longed after his Mother, that is, to eat of the Fruit of the corrupted Earth, which then in its outward Comprehensibility was become so evil, and in the Wrath-fire was become so hard, palpable, and comprehensible.
