And Seth came with his mother to Paradise...
they cried and sobbed and entreated God, their heads sprinkled with dust.
And God sent His Archangel Michael and he spoke to Seth:
´Man of God, go back to your father, for his day of death is drawing near...
and there is no cure for him.´
And he gave him three branches from the tree, on account of which he was expelled:
from the spruce (spar), from the cedar, and from the cypress.
And Seth took the branches and brought them to his father.
-
And Adam saw and recognized them...
and with a heavy sigh, he coiled a wreath [rolde een krans]...
and set it on his head...
and called his sons and grandchildren to him.
[bron2]
