Segment 1א׳

נִשְׁמַת הַזָכָר, מִן הַזָכָר. וְנִשְׁמַת הַנְקֵבָה, מִן הַנְקֵבָה. וְהַיְינוּ דְּקָא אֲזִיל נָחָשׁ בַּתְרָה דְחַוָּה. אָמַר, הוֹאִיל וְנִשְׁמָתָה מִן הַצָּפוֹן אֲסִיתֵנָה מְהֵרָה. וּמָאי הַסָתָה הֲוָה, מִשׁוּם דְּבָּא עָלֵיהּ. שָׁאֲלוּ תַּלְמִידוֹי, עוֹבָדָא הֵיכִי הֲוָה. אָמַר לָהֶם, סמ"אל הָרָשָׁע קַשָׁר עִם כָּל צְבָאוֹת מַעְלָה עַל רַבּוֹ. מִשׁוּם דְּאָמַר קוּדְשָׁא בְּרִיךְ הוּא, וּרְדוּ בִּדְגַת הַיָּם וּבְעוֹף הַשָּׁמַיִם. אָמַר, הֵיאָךְ אוּכַל לְהַחְטִיאוֹ וּלְגָרְשׁוֹ מִלְפָנָיו. יָרַד עִם כָּל חַיָּילוֹתָיו וּבִיקֵשׁ לוֹ בָּאָרֶץ חָבֵר כְּמוֹתוֹ וּמַנוּ נָחָשׁ, וְהָיָה לוֹ דְּמוּת גָמָל. רָכָב עָלָיו וּבָא לוֹ אֵצֶל הַאִשָׁה.

The soul of the male is from the male, and the soul of the female from the female. And this is why the serpent went after Eve. He said: since her soul is from the north, I shall entice her quickly. And what was the enticing? Because he came upon her. His disciples asked him: how was the thing? He said to them: the wicked Samael conspired with all the hosts above against his Master, because the Holy One, blessed be He, had said, “and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the fowl of the air.” He said: how shall I be able to make him sin and to have him driven out from before Him? He went down with all his hosts and sought for himself on earth a companion like himself; and who was it? The serpent. And it had the likeness of a camel. He rode upon it and came to the woman.

Segment 2ב׳

אָמַר לָהּ, אַף כִּי אָמַר אֱלֹהִים לא תֹאכְלוּ מִכָּל עֵץ הַגָּן. אָמַר אֲבָקֵשׁ יוֹתֵר וְאוֹסִיף, כְּדֵי שֶׁתִגְרָע הִיא. אָמְרָה, לֹא מֵנַעֲנוּ אֶלָּא מֵעֵץ הַדַּעַת אֲשֶׁר בְּתוֹךְ הַגָּן אָמַר אֱלֹהִים לֹא תֹאכְלוּ מִמֶּנּוּ וְלֹא תִּגְעוּ בּוֹ פֶּן תְּמוּתוּן. וְהוֹסִיפָה ב' דְּבָרִים, אָמְרָה מִפְּרִי הָעֵץ אֲשֶׁר בְּתוֹךְ הַגָּן אָמַר אֱלהִים לא תֹאכְלוּ, וְלֹא נֶאֱמַר לָהּ אֶלָּא מֵעֵץ הַדַּעַת. וְאָמְרָה, לא תִּגְעוּ פֶּן תְּמוּתוּן.

He said to her: “Yea, has God said: You shall not eat of any tree of the garden?” He said: I will ask for more and add, so that she may take away. She said: We were forbidden nothing save the tree of knowledge which is in the midst of the garden. God said: “You shall not eat of it, neither shall you touch it, lest you die.” And she added two things: she said, “of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden God has said: You shall not eat” — and nothing had been said to her save “of the tree of knowledge”; and she said, “neither shall you touch it, lest you die.”

Segment 3ג׳

מָה עָשָׂה סמ"אל הָרָשָׁע הָלַךְ וְנָגַע בְּאִילָן וַהֲוָה הַאִילָן צוִֹוִחַ וְאֹמֵר (תהילים ל״ו:י״ב) אַל תְּבוֹאֵנִי רֶגֶל גָאַוָה וְיָד רְשָׁעִים אַל תְּנִידֵנִי, אַל תִּגַּע בִּי. שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר וְיָד רְשָׁעִים אַל תְּנִידֵנִי. הָלַךְ וְאָמַר לְאִשָׁה, הֲרֵי נָגַעְתִּי בְּאִילָן וְלָא מָתִּי, אַף אַתְּ תִּגְעִי בְּאִילָן וְלֹא תָּמוּתִי. הֲלְכָה הַאִשָׁה וְנָגְעָה בְּאִילָן וְרָאֲתָה מַלְאַךְ הַמָּוֶת בָּא כְּנֶגְדָה, אָמְרָה אוּלַי עַכְשָׁיו אֲנִי מֵתָה, וְהַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא עוֹשֶׂה לוֹ אִשָּׁה אַחֶרֶת וְנוֹתְנָה לְאָדָם הַרֵינִי גוֹרֶמֶת לוֹ שֶׁיֹאכַל עִמִי אִם נָמוּת, נָמוּת שְׁנֵינוּ. וְאִם נִחְיֶּה, נִחְיֶּה שְׁנִינוּ. וְלַקְחָה מִפִּרְיוֹ וְנָתְּנָה גַּם לְבַעְלָה,

What did the wicked Samael do? He went and touched the tree, and the tree cried out and said, (Ps. 36, 12) “Let not the foot of pride overtake me, and let not the hand of the wicked drive me away” — do not touch me! As it is said, “and let not the hand of the wicked drive me away.” He went and said to the woman: see, I have touched the tree and I have not died; you too, touch the tree and you shall not die. The woman went and touched the tree, and she saw the angel of death coming toward her. She said: perhaps now I shall die, and the Holy One, blessed be He, will make him another woman and give her to Adam. I will bring it about that he shall eat with me: if we die, we shall both die; and if we live, we shall both live. And she took of its fruit and gave also to her husband…

Segment 4ד׳

נִתְפָּקְחוּ עֵינֵי שְׁנֵיהֶם וְקָהוּ שִׁנָּיו. אָמַר לָהּ מַהוּ זֶה שְׁהֶאֵכַלְתָּנִי שֶׁקָהוּ שִׁינָי, כָּךְ קָהוּ שִׁינֵי כָּל הַבְּרִיוֹת. יָשָׁב לוֹ בְּדִין אֱמֶת שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר (תהילים ט׳:ה׳) יָשַׁבְתָּ לְכִּסֵא שׁוֹפֵט צֶדֶק. קָרָא לְאָדָם וְאָמַר לוֹ, לָמָה בָּרַחְתָּ מִפָּנָי. אָמַר לוֹ, אֶת קוֹלֶךָ שָׁמָעְתִּי בַּגָּן וְרָעַדוּ עַצְמוֹתָי וָאִירָא כִּי עֵירוֹם אָנֹכִי וָאֵחָבֵא. כִּי עֵירוֹם אָנֹכִי, מִפֹּעֲלִי. כִּי עֵירוֹם אָנֹכִי, מִצִווּיִּי. כִּי עֵירוֹם אָנֹכִי, מִמַעֲשָׂי וָאֵחָבֵא.

The eyes of them both were opened, and his teeth were set on edge. He said to her: What is this that you have fed me, that my teeth are set on edge? So were the teeth of all creatures set on edge. He sat down in true judgement, as it is said, (Ps. 9, 5) “You have sat upon the throne as a righteous judge.” He called to Adam and said to him: Why have you fled from before Me? He said to Him: “I heard Your voice in the garden,” and my bones trembled, “and I was afraid, because I was naked, and I hid myself.” “Because I was naked” — of my work. “Because I was naked” — of my commandment. “Because I was naked” — of my deeds; “and I hid myself.”

Segment 5ה׳

מָה הָיָה לְבוּשׁוֹ שֶׁל אָדָם עוֹר שֶׁל צִפּוֹרֶן, וְהִפְשִׁיטוֹ מֵעָלָיו. רָאָה עַצְמוֹ עֵרוֹם, שֶׁנְּאֱמַר מִי הִגִּיד לְךָ כִּי עֵירוֹם אַתָּה. אָמַר אָדָם לִפְנִי הַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא, רִבּוֹנוֹ שֶׁל עוֹלָם, כְּשֶׁהָיִיתִי לְבַדִּי שֶׁמָּא חֲטָאתִי לְךָ, אֶלָּא הַאִשָׁה שֶׁהֵבֶאתָּ לִּי הִיא הֵדִיחָה אוֹתִי מִדְּבָרֶיךָ. שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר הַאִשָׁה אֲשֶׁר נָתַתָּ עִמָּדִי הִיא נָתְּנָה לִּי מִן הָעֵץ.

What was the garment of Adam? A skin of nail; and He stripped it off him. He saw himself naked, as it is said, “Who told you that you were naked?” Adam said before the Holy One, blessed be He: Lord of the world, when I was alone, did I sin against You? But the woman whom You brought to me, she it was who drove me away from Your words, as it is said, “The woman whom You gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree.”
