51 And he called upon our father Adam by his own voice, saying: I am God; I ^amade the world, and ^bmen ^cbefore they were in the flesh.

  23 And God saw these souls that they were good, and he stood in the midst of them, and he said: These I will make my rulers; for he stood among those that were spirits, and he saw that they were good; and he said unto me: Abraham, thou art one of them; thou wast ^achosen before thou wast born.

  31 For by the power of my Spirit ^acreated I them; yea, all things both ^bspiritual and temporal—

  9 And out of the ground made I, the Lord God, to grow every tree, ^anaturally, that is pleasant to the sight of man; and man could behold it. And it became also a ^bliving soul. For it was spiritual in the day that I created it; for it remaineth in the sphere in which I, God, created it, yea, even all things which I prepared for the use of man; and man saw that it was good for food. And I, the Lord God, planted the ^ctree of life also in the midst of the garden, and also the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

  5 And every ^aplant of the field ^bbefore it was in the ^cearth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the Lord God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a ^dman to till the ^eground.
