⁶ You made Adam, and for him you made his wife Eve
    as a helper and support.
    From the two of them the human race has sprung.
You said, ‘It is not good that the man should be alone;
    let us make a helper for him like himself.’^(A)

²⁴ From a woman sin had its beginning,
    and because of her we all die.^(A)

40 Hard work was created for everyone,
    and a heavy yoke is laid on the children of Adam,
from the day they come forth from their mother’s womb
    until the day they return to^[a] the mother of all the living.^[b](A)

¹³ for from garments comes the moth
    and from a woman comes woman’s wickedness.^(A)
