PEARL
OF GREAT PRICE
Moses
2:26-28
26 And I, God, said unto mine Only Begotten, which was with me
from the beginning: Let us make man in our image, after our likeness;
and it was so. And I, God, said: Let them have dominion over the fishes
of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over
all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
27 And I, God, created man in mine own image, in the image of mine
Only Begotten created I him; male and female created I them.
28 And I, God, blessed them, and said unto them: Be fruitful, and
multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it, and have dominion over
the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living
thing that moveth upon the earth.
Moses 3:7
7 And I, the Lord God, formed man from the dust of the ground,
and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living
soul, the first flesh upon the earth, the first man also; nevertheless,
all things were before created; but spiritually were they created and
made according to my word.
Moses 3:15-17
15 And I, the Lord God, took the man, and put him into the Garden
of aEden, to dress it, and to keep it.
16 And I, the Lord God, commanded the man, saying: Of every tree
of the garden thou mayest freely eat,
17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt
not eat of it, nevertheless, thou mayest choose for thyself, for it is
given unto thee; but, remember that I forbid it, for in the day thou eatest
thereof thou shalt surely die.
Moses
4:8-13
8 And the woman said unto the serpent: We may eat of the fruit
of the trees of the garden;
9 But of the fruit of the tree which thou beholdest in the midst
of the garden, God hath said—Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall
ye touch it, lest ye die.
10 And the serpent said unto the woman: Ye shall not surely die;
11 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your
eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
12 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and
that it became pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make
her wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and also gave unto
her husband with her, and he did eat.
13 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they
had been naked. And they sewed fig-leaves together and made themselves
aprons.
Moses
4:15-18
15 And I, the Lord God, called unto Adam, and said unto him: Where
goest thou?
16 And he said: I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid,
because I beheld that I was naked, and I hid myself.
17 And I, the Lord God, said unto Adam: Who told thee thou wast
naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree whereof I commanded thee that thou
shouldst not eat, if so thou shouldst surely die?
18 And the man said: The woman thou gavest me, and commandest that
she should remain with me, she gave me of the fruit of the tree and I
did eat.
Moses
4:28-31
28 And I, the Lord God, said unto mine Only Begotten: Behold, the
man is become as one of us to know good and evil; and now lest he put
forth his hand and partake also of the tree of life, and eat and live
forever,
29 Therefore I, the Lord God, will send him forth from the Garden
of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken;
30 For as I, the Lord God, liveth, even so my words cannot return
void, for as they go forth out of my mouth they must be fulfilled.
31 So I drove out the man, and I placed at the east of the Garden
of Eden, cherubim and a flaming sword, which turned every way to keep
the way of the tree of life.
Moses
5:10-12
10 And in that day Adam blessed God and was filled, and began to
prophesy concerning all the families of the earth, saying: Blessed be
the name of God, for because of my transgression my eyes are opened, and
in this life I shall have joy, and again in the flesh I shall see God.
11 And Eve, his wife, heard all these things and was glad,
saying: Were it not for our transgression we never should have had seed,
and never should have known good and evil, and the joy of our redemption,
and the eternal life which God giveth unto all the obedient.
12 And Adam and Eve blessed the name of God, and they made all
things known unto their sons and their daughters.
Moses
7:18
18 And the Lord called his people ZION, because they were of one
heart and one mind, and dwelt in righteousness; and there was no poor
among them.
