2. And God’s design was that the woman would learn that people of the offspring lands would live on,

3. But the people of the motherland, from whom she had descended, would surely all die.

4. And she knew that in spite of the impending inundation, she surely would not die;

5. For God’s design was that from the day she was horn, she was descended from the original mankind of the motherland, and was destined to know all, to discern both good and evil.

6. And the woman, being of the motherland, and being wise and good, knew that both she and her father were descended from the original mankind of the motherland.

7. And they both were wise, and had lived the good life; and it was that time of the year when some clothing was needed for warmth.

8. And in the cool of those days, when they were wondering to which of the offspring lands they should go, and God’s presence was felt strongly by them,

11. And God’s warning had come to him in the summer, as a warning to leave the land of his ancestors.

12. And the man said, the woman who is my daughter, and descended from my ancestors, gave me this knowledge;

13. And asked her, What gift of knowledge has God given you? And the woman said, I am of your ancestors and inherit their wisdom; and the coming inundations of the oceans has been made known to me;

14. And God’s design was that the oceans would so inundate the lands, and drown all cattle, and all beasts of the field, and bury all dust,

15. And God has thus given me victory over the oceans, such that the seed of future generations is in you and me, for the oceans will drown all others.

16. And God’s design was that although the inundation would greatly multiply her sorrows, she would even so bring forth children, as her love would be for her husband, and his for her.

17. And unto Adam it was God’s will that he heed the words of his daughter, and God’s warning that though they be descendants of the original mankind of the motherland, they should leave, as its destiny was Nature berserk, and if they stayed, surely they would regret it;
