Adam's Baptism - from the Ginza

The planets stand there,
they are bound by fetters and say:

When Adam fled from us
our watch-houses were destroyed.

When Adam rose from us,
our radiance was soon taken away.

He rose up and ascended to the House of Life;
they, the uthras, washed him in the Jordan and protected him.

They washed him and protected him in the Jordan;
they placed their right hand on him.

They baptized him with their baptism
and strengthened him with their pure words.
