### On account of the Sin of Adam, God sends him to the Earth, ‘From which I took thee, but He does not wish to destroy him in the Life to come

[¶1] 1 I said to him: ‘Earth thou art, and to earth also from whence I took thee shalt thou return. I will not destroy thee, but will send thee whence I took thee. Then I can also take thee in My second coming’; and I have blessed all My creation, visible and invisible.

[¶2] 2 And I blessed the seventh day, which is the Sabbath, for in it I rested from all My labours.
