Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Jewish Race in Ancient and Roman History
After creating the man (adam) God placed him in a delightful garden, called the Terrestrial paradise, permitting him to eat of all the trees in the garden, with the exception of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. For, said the Lord, in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. Now Adam was all alone in this beautiful garden, with beasts and fowls of every kind, to each of which he gave a name. God said: It is not good for man to be alone; and while Adam slept He took one of his ribs, of which He made a woman, and when Adam awoke God presented her to him. And Adam said, This is bone of my bones, and ?esh of my ?esh.
He gave to her the name of Eve, which signified that she should be the mother of all living.
