1 After these fragrant odors, as I looked towards the north over the mountains, I saw seven mountains full of choice nard, fragrant trees, cinnamon, and pepper. 2 And from there I went over the summits of all these mountains, far towards the east of the earth, and passed above the Erythraean sea and went far from it, and passed over the angel Zotîêl. 3 And I came to the Garden of Righteousness, and beyond those trees, I saw many large trees growing there, fragrant, large, very beautiful, and glorious, including the tree of wisdom, from which they eat and gain great wisdom. 4 That tree is as tall as a fir, and its leaves are like those of the Carob tree; its fruit is like the clusters of the vine, very beautiful, and the fragrance of the tree carries far. 5 Then I said: 'How beautiful is the tree, and how attractive is its appearance!' 6 Then Raphael, the holy angel who was with me, answered and said: 'This is the tree of wisdom, which your father, old in years, and your aged mother, who were before you, have eaten from, and they gained wisdom, their eyes were opened, and they knew they were naked, and they were driven out of the garden.'
