Genesis, lines 441-587

An adversary of God travels to earth to lead Adam astray. We learn of two trees, one is the tree of life, the other the tree of death. Eating of the second tree causes one to learn of good and evil, but also to live in labor and sorrow. The devil turns himself into a snake and winds around the tree of death. He seeks to tempt Adam, saying that he has been sent from God as a messenger. Adam refuses to eat the fruit of the tree of death. The snake then goes to Eve and tries to convince her to eat of the fruit.
