jordaan

And Adam went to the Jordan... 

and stood up in the water and immersed himself in water... 

and also dampened [natmaken] the hair on his head. 

While he prayed to God and his prayers went up... 

the angels assembled themselves and every flying creature... 

the wild and the domestic and every winged bird...

and they stood as a wall around Adam... 

while they entreated [smeekten] God for him.

And the devil came to me, Eve [in the Tigris]... 

in the form and radiance of an angel... 

there where I stood in the water, letting passionate tears fall to the ground.

-

He said to me: 

'Come forth, Eve, out of the water.

God has heard your prayer... 

and also we angels, we who prayed for you.

And the Lord has sent me to you...

that you should emerge from this water.' 

And I discerned that he was the devil...

and answered him nothing at all. 

But when after forty days, Adam emerged from the Jordan...

he noticed the footprints of the devil and was very afraid...

lest the devil had duped [beetgenomen] me. 

But when he saw me standing in the water, he was very happy. 

And he took me and led me out of the water.
