Rebellion of Satan -- Man's agency, temptation and fall.

¹⁾NowAnd I, the Lord God, spake unto Moses, saying, That Satan whom thou hast commanded in the name of mine Only Begotten, is the same which was from the beginning;

²⁾And he came before me, saying, Behold I, send me, I will be thy Son, and I will redeem all mankind, that one soul shall not be lost, and surely I will do it; wherefore, give me thine honor.

³⁾But behold, my beloved Son, which was my beloved and chosen from the beginning, said unto me: Father, thy will be done, and the glory be thine forever.

⁴⁾Wherefore, because that Satan rebelled against me, and sought to destroy the agency of man, which I, the Lord God, had given him; and also that I should give unto him mine own power; by the power of mine Only Begotten I caused that he should be cast down; and he became Satan.

⁵⁾Yea, even the devil, the father of all lies, to deceive, and to blind men, and to lead them captive at his will, even as many as would not hearken unto my voice.

⁶⁾And now, the serpent was more subtilsubtle than any beast of the field, which I, the LORDLord God, had made.

⁷⁾And Satan put it into the heart of the serpent, for he had drawn away many after him; and he sought also to beguile Eve, for he knew not the mind of God; wherefore, he sought to destroy the world.

⁸⁾And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?. And he spake by the mouth of the serpent.

²⁹⁾And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: 3)But; but of the fruit of the tree which isthou beholdest in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.

⁴¹⁰⁾And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: 5)For; for God doth know, that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.

⁶¹¹⁾And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it wasbecame pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make oneher wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat,; and gave also unto her husband with her;, and he did eat.

⁷¹²⁾And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they werehad been naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.

⁸¹³⁾And they heard the voice of the LORDLord God, as they were walking in the garden, in the cool of the day: and.

¹⁴⁾And Adam and his wife hidwent to hide themselves from the presence of the LORDLord God, amongst the trees of the garden.

⁹¹⁵⁾And I, the LORDLord God, called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where artgoest thou? 10) And he said, I heard thy voice, in the garden, and I was afraid, because I beheld that I was naked;, and I hid myself.

¹¹¹⁶⁾And heI, the Lord God, said unto Adam, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldestshouldst not eat, if so thou shouldst surely die?

¹²¹⁷⁾And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest tome, beand commanded that she should remain with me, she gave me of the fruit of the tree, and I did eat.

¹³¹⁸⁾And I, the LORDLord God, said unto the woman, What is this thatthing which thou hast done?

¹⁹⁾And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.

¹⁴²⁰⁾And I, the LORDLord God, said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou artshalt be cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:;

¹⁵²¹⁾And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and; between thy seed and her seed; itand he shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

¹⁶²²⁾Unto the woman, heI, the Lord God, said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow, and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children;, and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.

¹⁷²³⁾And unto Adam, heI, the Lord God, said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the fruit of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it:, cursed isshall be the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;

¹⁸²⁴⁾Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;

¹⁹²⁵⁾InBy the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, tilluntil thou shalt return unto the ground, for thou shalt surely die; for out of it wast thou taken:, for dust thou artwast, and unto dust shalt thou return.

²⁰²⁶⁾And Adam called his wife's name Eve;, because she was the mother of all living; for thus have I, the Lord God, called the first of all women, which are many.

²¹²⁷⁾Unto Adam, and also and tounto his wife, did I, the LORDLord God, make coats of skins, and clothed them.

²²²⁸⁾And I, the LORDLord God, said unto mine Only Begotten, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil:; and now, lest he put forth his hand, and takepartake also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:forever;

²³²⁹⁾Therefore, I, the LORDLord God, sentwill send him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken;

³⁰⁾For, as I, the Lord God, liveth, even so my words cannot return void, for, as they go forth out of my mouth, they must be fulfilled.

²⁴³¹⁾So heI drove out the man;, and heI placed at the east of the garden of Eden, Cherubimscherubim, and a flaming sword, which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.

³²⁾(And these are the words which I spake unto my servant Moses. And they are true, even as I will.

³³⁾And I have spoken them unto you. See thou show them unto no man, until I command you, except they that believe.) Amen.
