And the chief archon saw the virgin who stood by adam, and that luminous Epinoia of life had appeared in her. And Yaldabaoth
was full of ignorance. And when the foreknowledge of the All noticed (it), she sent some and they stanched life out of Eve.
"And the chief archon seduced her and he begot in her two sons; the first and the second (are) Eloim and Yave. Eloim
has a bearface and Yave has a cat-face. The one is righteous but the other is unrighteous. (IV 38, 4-6: Yave is righteous
but Eloim is Unrighteous.) Yave he set over the fire and the wind, and Eloim he set over water and the earth.
And these he called with names Cain and Able with a view to deceive.
