3/4 The <snake>smiley - devil said to the woman, "You will not die God knows if you eat the <fruit> from that tree, you will learn about goodsmiley - angel and evilsmiley - devil and you will be like God!"6/2 When the sons of God saw that these girls were beautiful they married any of them they choseThey said to each other, "Lets make bricks and bake them to make them hard." So they used bricks instead of stones, and tar instead of mortar. Then they said to each other, "Let's build a city and a tower for ourselves, whose top will reach high into the sky. We will become famous. Then we will not be scattered over the earthsmiley - earth."
3/22,23,24 "The man has become like one of us; he knows goodsmiley - angel and evilsmiley - devil, we must keep him from eating some of the <fruit> from the <treeoflife>, or he will live forever."
