Book of Adam

Adam, the handiwork of the Lord, lived with Eve in the Garden of Eden, which was situated in the East. Their food, which they also distributed to the lower animals, consisted of the fruit of the trees in the garden, the only nourishment then allowed to living beings. For their protection two angels were set apart, known as or the partakers of the majesty, called in Latin virtutes, from virtus, corresponding to kabod. But one day when the guarding angels had ascended to heaven to sing their hymn to the Lord, Satan thought the time opportune to carry out his evil designs against Adam. Satan hated Adam, for he regarded him as the cause of his fall. After God had created man, He ordered all the angels to prostrate themselves before Adam, but Satan rebelled against God's command, despite the direct bidding of Michael "to worship the image of YHW", and answered proudly: "If God be angry against me, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God". Whereupon God "cast him out from heaven with all his host of rebellious angels".
