Adam imparted revelation to his son Seth and showed him his original greatness before the transgression and his going out of paradise. He recommended his son Seth never fail in justice. Seth welcomed the teachings of his father with a pure heart. It was given to him to inscribe this wisdom in a book and to teach it. And thanks to him for the first time in this world there was seen a book written in the name of the Most High. A righteous God-given book.

32. TWO WITNESSES:
DANIELOU, on page 40, states: "No one is to bring charges against his neighbor before the Council without first proving them be fore witnesses" (DSD, vi. 1). Now this is exactly like the Christian legislation as we know it in the New Testament: first one must directly approach the person from who one desires to obtain justice; if he refuses, the charge will be brought up before two witnesses."
