Women Of The
Lost Books
The
Second Book of Adam and Eve
Hazina: Wife of Atun,
son of Lamech, son of Cain
2nd Adam & Eve 13:2 But Lamech was
in the habit of sending them to feed with a young shepherd, who
tended them; and who, when coming home in the evening wept before
his grandfather and before his father Atun and his mother Hazina,
and said to them, "As for me, I cannot feed those cattle alone, lest
one rob me of some of them, or kill me for the sake of them." For
among the children of Cain there was much robbery, murder and sin.
Daughters of Cain:
2nd Adam & Eve 20:31 And when they
looked at the daughters of Cain, at beautiful figures, and at their
hands and feet dyed with colour, and' tattooed in ornaments on their
faces, the fire of sin was kindled in them
32 Then
Satan made them look most beautiful before the sons of Seth, as he
also made the sons of Seth appear of the fairest in the eyes of the
daughters of Cain, so that the daughters of Cain lusted after the
sons of Seth like ravenous beasts, and the sons of Seth after the
daughters of Cain, until they committed abomination with them.
Tobias
Anna: Wife of Tobias
Tobias:9 But when he was a man, he
took to wife Anna of his own tribe, and had a son by her, whom he
called after his own name, 19
Now Anna his wife went daily to weaving work, and she brought home
what she could get for their living by the labour of her hands.
Sara: Daughter of
Raguel
Tobias:7 Now it happened on the
same day, that Sara daughter of Raguel, in Rages a city of the
Medes, received a reproach from one of her father's servant maids,
8
Because she had been given to seven husbands and a devil named
Asmodeus had killed them, at their first going in unto her.
9 So when
she reproved the maid for her fault, she answered her, saying: May
we never see son, or daughter of thee upon the earth, thou murderer
of thy husbands. 10
Wilt thou kill me also, as thou hast already killed seven husbands?
At these words, she went into an upper chamber of her house: and for
three days and three nights did neither eat nor drink:
11 But
continuing in prayer with tears besought God, that he would deliver
her from this reproach. 12
And it came to pass on the third day when
she was making an end of her prayer, blessing the Lord,
13 She said:
Blessed is thy name, O God of our fathers, who when thou hast been
angry, wilt shew mercy, and in the time of tribulation forgivest the
sins of them that call upon thee. 14
To thee, O Lord, I turn my face, to thee I direct my eyes.
15 I beg, O Lord, that thou loose
me from the bond of this reproach, or else take me away from the
earth. 16
Thou knowest, O Lord, that I never coveted a husband, and have kept
my soul clean from all lust. 17
Never have I joined myself with them that play: neither have I made
myself partaker with them that walk in lightness.
18 But a
husband I consented to take, with thy fear, not with my lust.
19 And
either I was unworthy of them, or they perhaps were not worthy of
me: because perhaps thou hast kept me for another man,
20 For thy
counsel is not in man's power. 21
But this every one is sure of that worshippeth thee, that his life,
if it be under trial, shall be crowned and if it be under
tribulation, it shall be delivered: and if it be under correction,
it shall be allowed to come to thy mercy.
22 For thou
art not delighted in our being lost, because after a storm thou
makest a calm, and after tears and weeping thou pourest in
joyfulness. 23
Be thy name, O God of Israel, blessed for ever,
24 At that
time the prayers of them both were heard in the sight of the glory
of the most high God: 25
And the holy angel of the Lord, Raphael was sent to heal them both,
whose prayers at one time were rehearsed in the sight of the Lord
11
And the angel answering, said: Here is one whose name is Raguel, a
near kinsman of thy tribe, and he hath a daughter named Sara, but he
hath no son nor any other daughter beside her.
12 All his
substance is due to thee, and thou must take her to wife.
13 Ask her
therefore of her father, and he will give her thee to wife.
14 Then
Tobias answered, and said: I hear that she hath been given to seven
husbands, and they all died: moreover I have heard, that a devil
killed them.
Letters
of Pilate
Herodias: Daughter of
Herod
Herod to Pilate:1 I am in great
anxiety. I write these things to you, that when you have heard them
you may be grieved for me. For as my daughter Herodias, who is dear
to me, was playing upon a pool of water that had ice upon it, it
broke under her and all her body went down, and her head was cut off
and remained on the surface of the ice. And behold, her mother is
holding her head upon her knees in her lap, and my whole house is in
great sorrow.
Herod’s Wife
Herod to Pilate:6 And my wife,
again, through all her grief for her daughter, is become blind in
her left eye, because we desired to blind the Eye of righteousness.
Procla: Wife of Pilate
Pilate to Herod:4 Now when Procla,
my wife, heard that Jesus was risen and had appeared in Galilee, she
took with her Longinus the centurion and twelve soldiers, the same
who had watched at the sepulchre, and went to greet the face of
Christ, as if to a great spectacle, and saw him with his disciples.
5
Now while they were standing and wondering, and gazing at him, he
looked at them and said to them, What is it? Do you believe in me?
Procla, know that in the covenant God gave to the fathers, it is
said that everybody who had perished should live by means of my
death, which you have seen. And now you see that I live, whom you
crucified. And I suffered many things, till I was laid in the
sepulchre. But now, hear me and believe in my Father -- God who is
in me. For I loosed the cords of death and broke the gates of Hades,
and my coming shall be in the future.
6 And when
Procla my wife and the Romans heard these things, they came and told
me weeping, for they also were against him when they devised the
evils they had done unto him. So that I also was on the couch of my
bed in affliction, and put on a garment of mourning, and took unto
me fifty Romans with my wife and went into Galilee.
Trial of Pilate:23
And the Prefect cut off the head of Pilate,
and behold, an angel of the Lord received it.
24
And when his wife Procla saw the angel come and receive his head,
she also, being filled with joy, immediately gave up the ghost and
was buried with her husband.
Woman
with an issue of blood
Report of Pilate:7 And a woman
also, who had an issue of blood for a long time, and whose veins and
arteries were exhausted, and who did not bear a human body, being
like one dead and daily speechless, so that all the physicians of
the district were unable to cure her. There remained to her not a
hope of life, but as Jesus passed by she mysteriously received
strength by his shadow falling on her from behind. She touched the
hem of his garment and immediately, in that very hour, strength
filled her exhausted limbs, and as if she had never suffered
anything, she began to run along towards Capernaum, her own city, so
that she reached it in a six days' journey.
Report of Pilate to Tiberius: 8
And a woman who had an issue of blood
for a long time, so that because of the discharge all the joints of
her bones were seen and shone through like glass, for all the
physicians had dismissed her without hope and had not cleansed her,
for there was in her no hope of health at all; but once, as Jesus
was passing by she touched from behind the hem of his garments, and
in that very hour the strength of her body was restored, and she was
made whole as if she had no affliction, and began to run fast
towards her own city of Paneas.
Veronica: Woman of
Jerusalem (Eusebius wrote that Veronica was the woman healed by
Jesus of an issue of blood.)
Death of Pilate: 5 And as the
messenger returned to his lodgings he met a certain woman named
Veronica, who had been acquainted with Jesus, and he said, O woman,
there was a certain physician in this city, who healed the sick by
his word alone, why have the Jews slain him?
6 And she
began to weep, saying, Ah me, my lord, it was my God and my Lord
whom Pilate through envy delivered up, condemned, and commanded to
be crucified. 7
Then he, grieving greatly, said, I am exceedingly sorry that I
cannot fulfil that for which my lord has sent me.
8 Veronica
said to him, When my Lord went about preaching, and I was very
unwillingly deprived of his presence, at least the figure of his
likeness might give me consolation.
9 And when I was taking the canvas
to the painter to be painted, my Lord met me and asked where I was
going. And when I had made known to him the cause of my journey, he
asked me for the canvas, and gave it back to me printed with the
likeness of his venerable face. 10
Therefore, if your lord will devoutly look upon the sight of this,
he will immediately enjoy the benefit of health.
11 He asked,
Is a likeness of this kind to be procured with gold or silver?
12
No, she said, but with a pious sentiment of devotion. Therefore, I
will go with you and carry the likeness to Caesar to look upon, and
will return. 13
So Volusianus came with Veronica to Rome, and said to Tiberius the
emperor, Jesus, whom you have long desired, Pilate and the Jews have
surrendered to an unjust death, and through envy fastened to the
wood of the cross. 14
Therefore, a certain matron has come with me
bringing the likeness of the same Jesus, and if you will devoutly
gaze upon it, you will presently obtain the benefit of your health.
15
So Caesar caused the way to be spread with cloths of silk, and
ordered the portrait to be presented to him; and as soon as he had
looked upon it, he regained his original health.
Secrets
of Enoch
Eva: The first woman,
Adam’s mate
Secrets of Enoch 30:16 And I put
sleep into him and he fell asleep. And I took from him A rib, and
created him a wife, that death should come to him by his wife, and I
took his last word and called her name mother, that is to say, Eva
31:5
And he understood his condemnation and the sin which he had sinned
before, therefore he conceived thought against Adam, in such form he
entered and seduced Eva (Eve), but did not touch Adam.
