Chapter 12  
     
1.
 This is the number of the angels: together they are 365.
 
2.
 They all worked on it until, limb for limb, the natural and the material body was completed by them.
 
3.
 Now there are other ones in charge over the remaining passions whom I did not mention to you.
 
4.
 But if you wish to know them, it is written in the Book of Zoroaster.
 
5.
 And all the angels and demons worked until they had constructed the natural body.
 
6.
 And their product was completely inactive and motionless for a long time.
 
7.
 And when the mother wanted to retrieve the power which she had given to the chief archon, she petitioned the Mother-Father of the All, who is most merciful.
 
8.
 He sent, by means of the holy decree, the five lights down upon the place of the angels of the chief archon.
 
9.
 They advised him that they should bring forth the power of the mother.
 
10.
 And they said to YHWH, Blow into his face something of your spirit and his body will arise.
 
11.
 And he blew into his face the spirit which is the power of his mother; he did not know (this), for he exists in ignorance.
 
12.
 And the power of the mother went out of YHWH into the natural body, which they had fashioned after the image of the one who exists from the beginning.
 
13.
 The body moved and gained strength, and it was luminous.
 
14.
 And in that moment the rest of the powers became jealous, because he had come into being through all of them and they had given their power to the man, and his intelligence was greater than that of those who had made him, and greater than that of the chief archon.
 
15.
 And when they recognized that he was luminous, and that he could think better than they, and that he was free from wickedness, they took him and threw him into the lowest region of all matter.
 
16.
 But the blessed One, the Mother-Father, the beneficent and merciful One, had mercy on the power of the mother which had been brought forth out of the chief archon, for they (the archons) might gain power over the natural and perceptible body.
 
17.
 And he sent, through his beneficent Spirit and his great mercy, a helper to Adam, luminous Epinoia which comes out of him, who is called Life.
 
18.
 And she assists the whole creature, by toiling with him and by restoring him to his fullness and by teaching him about the descent of his seed (and) by teaching him about the way of ascent, (which is) the way he came down.
 
19.
 And the luminous Epinoia was hidden in Adam, in order that the archons might not know her, but that the Epinoia might be a correction of the deficiency of the mother.
 
20.
 And the man came forth because of the shadow of the light which is in him.
 
21.
 And his thinking was superior to all those who had made him.
 
22.
 When they looked up, they saw that his thinking was superior.
 
23.
 And they took counsel with the whole array of archons and angels.
 
24.
 They took fire and earth and water and mixed them together with the four fiery winds.
 
25.
 And they wrought them together and caused a great disturbance.
