And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam,
and he slept:
and he took one of his ribs,
and closed up the flesh instead thereof:
And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man,
made he a woman,
and brought her unto the man.
And Adam said,
This is now bone of my bones,
and flesh of my flesh:
she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.
(Genesis 2: 21-23)

Seven archangels came to Adam,
and when they saw Eve speaking with him,
they said to one another,
“What is this enlightened woman?
For truly she resembles the likeness
that appeared to us in the light.
Now come,
let us seize her and cast our seed into her,
so that when she is polluted
she will not be able to ascend to her light,
but those whom she bears will serve us.
But let us not tell Adam, because he is not from us.
Rather, let us bring a stupor upon him, and
suggest to him in his sleep that she came into being from his rib, so that the woman may serve and he may rule over her."
