Section 6

And that accursed man Qayin, the murderer of his brother, multiplied evil, and his seed did likewise, and they provoked Elohim to wrath with their wickedness. They had not the fear of Elohim before their eyes, and they never kept in mind that He had created them, and they never prayed to Him, and they never worshipped Him, and they never called upon Him, and they never rendered service to Him in fear; nay, they ate, and they drank, and they danced, and they played upon stringed instruments, and sang lewd songs thereto, and they worked uncleanness without Torah, without measure, and without rule. And the wickedness of the children of Qayin multiplied, until at length in the greatness of their filthiness they introduced the seed of the ass into the mare, and the mule came into being, which Elohim had not commanded - even like those who give their children who are believers to those who deny Elohim, and their offspring become the seed of the filthy Gomorraites, one half of them being of good and one half of them of evil seed. And as for those who do [this] wickedness, their judgment is ready, and their error in lasting.
