Serpent's Approach to Paradise
Chapter
12

17.1 And instantly he hung himself from the wall of paradise, and when the angels ascended to worship God, then Satan appeared in the form of an angel and sang hymns like the angels.17.2 And he bent over the wall and I saw him, like an angel. And he said to me: "Are you Eve? "And I said to him, "I am."17.3 And he said to me, "What art you doing in paradise?" And I said to him, "God set us to guard and to eat of it."17.4 The devil answered through the mouth of the serpent: "You do well but you do not eat of every plant."17.5 And I said: "Yea, we eat of all, save one only, which is in the middle of paradise, concerning which, God charged us not to eat of it, for, you shall die the death."
