THE SIXTH TABLET
128
To
create a Primitive Worker, by the mark of our essence to fashion him!
So
was Enki to the leaders saying.
The
Being that we need, it already exists!
Thus
did Enki to them a secret of the Abzu reveal.
With
astonishment did the other leaders Enki's words hear; by the words they were
fascinated.
Creatures
in the Abzu there are, Enki was saying, that walk erect on two legs,
Their
forelegs they use as arms, with hands they are provided.
Among
the animals of the steppe they live. They know not
dressing in garments,
They
eat plants with their mouths, they drink water from lake and ditch.
Shaggy
with hair is their whole body, their head hair is like a lion's;
With
gazelles they jostle, with teeming creatures in the waters they delight!
The
leaders to Enki's words with amazement listened.
No
creature like that has ever in the Edin been seen! Enlil, disbelieving, said.
Aeons
ago, on Nibiru, our predecessors like that might have been! Ninmah was
saying. It is a Being, not a creature!
It is a Being, not a creature!
Ninmah
was saying. To behold it must be a thrill!
129
To
the House of Life Enki led them; in strong cages there were some of the beings.
At
the sight of Enki and the others they jumped up, with fists on the cage bars
they were beating.
They
were grunting and snorting; no words were they speaking.
Male
and female they are! Enki was saying; malehoods and femalehoods they have,
Like
us, from Nibiru coming, they are procreating.
Ningishzidda,
my son, their Fashioning Essence has tested;
Akin
to ours it is, like two serpents it is entwined;
When
their with our life essence shall be combined, our mark upon them shall be,
A
Primitive Worker shall be created! Our commands will he understand,
Our
tools he will handle, the toil in the excavations he shall perform;
To
the Anunnaki in the Abzu relief shall come!
So
was Enki with enthusiasm saying, with excitement his words came forth.
Enlil
at the words was hesitating: The matter is one of great importance!
On
our planet, slavery has long ago been abolished, tools are the slaves, not
other beings!
A
new creature, beforehand nonexisting, you wish to bring into being;
Creation
in the hands of the Father of All Beginning alone is held!
So
was Enlil in opposing saying; stern were his words.
Enki
to his brother responded: Not slaves, but helpers is my plan!
The
Being already exists! Ninmah was saying. To give more ability is the plan!
Not
a new creature, but one existing more in our image made! Enki with persuasion
said,
130
With
little change it can be achieved, only a drop of our essence is needed!
A
grave matter it is, it is not to my liking! Enlil was saying.
Against
the rules of from planet to planet journeying it is,
By
the rules of to Earth coming it was forbidden.
To
obtain gold was our purpose, to replace the Father of
All Beginning it was not!
After
Enlil thus had spoken, Ninmah was the one to respond:
My
brother! Ninmah to Enlil was saying,
With
wisdom and understanding has the Father of All Beginning us endowed,
To
what purpose have we so been perfected, else of it utmost use to make?
With
wisdom and understanding has the Creator of All our life essence filled,
To
whatever using of it we capable are, is it not that for which we have been
destined?
So
was Ninmah words to her brother Enlil directing.
With
that which in our essence was granted, tools and chariots we have perfected,
Mountains with terror weapons we shattered, skies with gold we are healing!
So
was Ninurta to his birth-giving mother saying.
Let
us with wisdom new tools fashion, not new beings create,
Let
by new equipments, not by slave beings, the toil be relieved!
Whereto
our understanding does us lead, to that we have been destined!
So
was Ningishzidda saying, with Enki and Ninmah he in agreement was.
What
knowledge we possess, its use cannot be prevented! Ningishzidda was saying.
131
Destiny
indeed cannot be altered, from the Beginning to the End it has been determined!
To
them Enlil was thus saying. Destiny it is, or Fate it is,
That
to this planet us has brought, to gold from the waters foil,
To
put Anunnaki heroes to excavating toil, to a Primitive Worker create to be
planning?
That,
my kinfolk, is the question! Thus, with graveness, Enlil was saying.
Is
it Destiny, is it Fate; That is what deciding requires,
Is
it from the Beginning ordained, or by us for choosing?
To
put the matter before Anu they decided; Anu before the council the matter
presented.
The
elders, the savants, the commanders were consulted.
Long
and bitter the discussions were, of Life and Death, Fate and Destiny words were
spoken.
Can
there be another way the gold to obtain? Survival is in danger!
If
gold must be obtained, let the Being be fashioned! the council decided.
Let
Anu forsake the rules of planetary journeys, let Nibiru be saved!
From
Anu's palace the decision to Earth was beamed; it Enki delighted.
Let
Ninmah my helper be, of such matters understanding she has!
Thus
was Enki saying. At Ninmah with a longing he was gazing.
Let
it so be! Ninmah was saving. Let it so be! Enlil did say.
By
Ennugi was the decision to the Anunnaki in the Abzu announced:
Until
the Being is achieved, to the toil willingly you must return! he said.
There
was disappointment; rebellion there was not; to the toil the Anunnaki returned.
In
the House of Life, in the Abzu, how to fashion the
Being Enki to Ninmah was explaining.
how to fashion the Being Enki to Ninmah was explaining
132
To
a place among the trees Ninmah he directed, a place of cages it was.
In
the cages there were odd creatures, their likes in the wild no one had seen:
Foreparts
of one kind they had, hindparts of another creature they possessed;
Creatures
of two kinds by their essences combined to Ninmah Enki was showing!
To
the House of Life they returned, to a clean place with brightness shining they
led her.
In
the clean place Ningishzidda to Ninmah the life-essence secrets was explaining,
How
the essence from two kinds combined can be, he to her was showing.
The
creatures in the tree cages are too odd, monstrous they are! Ninmah was saying.
Indeed
so! Enki responded. To attain perfection, for that you are needed!
How
the essences to combine, how much of this, how much of that to put together,
In
which womb conception to begin, in which womb should the birth be given?
For
that your succor and healing understanding are needed;
The
understanding of one who gave birth, who a mother is, is required!
A
smile on the face of Ninmah was; the two daughters that by Enki she mothered
she well remembered.
With
Ningishzidda she surveyed the sacred formulas that on ME's were secreted,
How
this and that were done of him she inquired.
The
creatures in the tree cages she examined, the two-legged creatures she
contemplated.
133
By
a male inseminating a female are the essences transmitted,
The
two entwined strands separate and combine an offspring to fashion.
Let
a male Anunnaki a two-legged female impregnate, let a combination offspring be born! Thus did
Ninmah say.
That
we have tried, with failures it resulted! to her Enki responded.
There
was no conceiving, there was no birth!
Now
this is the account of how the Primitive Worker was created,
How
Enki and Ninmah, with Ningishzidda assisting, the Being fashioned.
Another
way the admixture of essences to attain must be tried, Ninmah was saying.
How
the two strands of essences to combine another way must be found,
That
which from the Earth is the portion must not be harmed.
To
receive our essence in graduations it must be shaped,
From
the ME formulas of Nibiru's essence only bit by bit could be attempted!
In
a crystal vessel Ninmah an admixture was preparing, the oval of a female
two-legged she gently placed,
With
ME Anunnaki seed containing, she the oval impregnated;
That
oval back into the womb of the two-legged female she inserted.
This
time there was conceiving, a birth was indeed forthcoming!
The
allotted time for birth-giving the leaders awaited, with anxious hearts they
results were seeking.
The
allotted time arrived, there was no birth-giving!
In
desperation Ninmah a cutting made, that which was conceived with tongs she drew
out.
134
A
living being it was!
With
glee Enki Shouted. We attained! Ningishzidda with joy cried out.
In
her hands Ninmah the newborn held, with joy she was not filled:
Shaggy
with hair all over was the newborn, his foreparts like of the Earth creatures
were,
His
hindparts to those of the Anunnaki more akin they were.
They
let the two-legged female the newborn nurse, with her milk him to suckle.
Fast
was the newborn growing, what on Nibiru a day was, a month in the Abzu was.
Taller
the Earth child grew, in the image of the Anunnaki he was not;
His
hands for tools were not suited, his speech only grunting sounds was!
We
must try once more! Ninmah was saying. The admixture needs adjusting;
Let
me the ME's assay, with this or that ME make the endeavor!
With
Enki and Ningishzidda assisting, they repeated the procedures,
The
essences in the ME's Ninmah carefully considered,
One
bit she took from one, one bit she took out from another,
Then
in the crystal bowl the oval of an Earth female she inseminated.
There
was conception, at the appropriate time there was birth-giving
This
one more in the likeness of the Anunnaki was;
They
let his birth mother him suckle, they let the newborn to a child grow.
Appealing
he was by his looks, his hands to hold tools were shapen;
His
senses they tested, they found there deficient:
The
Earth child could not hear, his eyesight was faltered.
Again
and again Ninmah rearranged the admixtures, of the ME formulas she took bits and pieces;
One
Being had paralyzed feet, another his semen was dripping,
135
One
had trembling hands, a malfunctioning liver had another;
One
had hands too short to reach the mouth, one had lungs for breathing unsuited.
Enki
by the results was disappointed. A Primitive Worker is not attained! to Ninmah
he was saying.
What
is good or is bad in this Being by trials I am discovering!
Ninmah
to Enki responded. To continue for success my heart prompts me!
Once
more an admixture she made, once more the newborn was deficient.
Perchance
the shortfall is not in the admixture! Enki to her was saying.
Perchance
neither in the female's oval nor in the essences is the hindrance?
Of
what the Earth itself is fashioned, perchance that is what is missing
Not
of Nibiru's crystals use the vessel, of the clay of Earth make it!
So
was Enki, with great wisdom possessed, to Ninmah saying.
Perchance
what is Earth's own admixture, of gold and copper, is required!
Thus
was Enki, he who knows things, prompting her to use clay of the Abzu.
In the House of Life Ninmah made a vessel, of the Abzu's clay
she made it.
As
a purifying bath she shaped the vessel, within it to make the admixture.
Gently
into the clay vessel the oval of an Earth female, the two-legged, she put,
The
life essence from an Anunnaki's blood extracted she in the vessel placed,
By
the ME formulas was the essence directed, bit by correct bit was it in the
vessel added,
136
Then
the oval thus fertilized into the womb of the Earth female she inserted.
There
is conception! Ninmah with joy announced. The allotted birth-giving time they
awaited.
At
the allotted time the Earth female began to travail,
A
child, a newborn, was forthcoming!
With
her hands Ninmah the newborn extracted; a male it was!
In
her hands she held the child, his image she examined; it was the image of
perfection.
In
her hands she held up the newborn; Enki and Ningishzidda were present.
With
joyful laughter the three leaders were seized,
Enki
and Ningishzidda were backslapping, Ninmah Enki embraced and kissed.
Your
hands have made it! Enki, with a gleaming eye, to her was saying.
They
let the birth-giving mother the newborn suckle; quicker than a child on Nibiru
grows he was growing.
From
month to month the newborn progressed, from a baby to a child he was becoming.
His
limbs for the tasks were suited, speech he knew not,
Of
speaking he had no understanding, grunts and snorts were his utterings!
Enki
the matter was pondering, what was done each step and admixture he considered.
Of
all that we had tried and changed, one thing was never altered! to Ninmah he
was saying:
Into
the womb of the Earth female the fertilized oval was always inserted;
Perchance
this is the remaining obstruction! Thus was Enki saying.
Ninmah
at Enki gazed, with bewilderment she him beheld.
137
What,
in truth, are you saying? Of him she an answer required.
Of
the birth-giving womb am I speaking! to her Enki was responding.
Of
who the fertilized oval nurtures, to birth-giving carries;
In
our image and after our likeness to be, perchance an Anunnaki womb is required!
In
the House of Life there was silence; words never before heard Enki was
uttering!
They
gazed at each other, about what in each other's mind they were thinking.
Wise
are your words, my brother! Ninmah at long last was saying.
Perchance
the right admixture in the wrong womb was inserted;
Now
where is the female among the Anunnaki her womb to offer,
Perchance
the perfect Primitive Worker to create, perchance a monster in her belly to
carry?
So
was Ninmah with a trembling voice saying.
Let
me of Ninki, my spouse, of that inquire! Enki was saying.
Let
us her to the House of Life summon, the matter before her lay out
He
was turning to depart when Ninmah put her hand on his shoulder:
No!
No! to Enki she was saying.
The
admixtures by me were made, reward and endangerment should be mine!
I
shall be the one the Anunnaki womb to provide, for good or evil fate to face!
Enki
bowed his head, gently he embraced her. So be it! to her he said.
In
the clay vessel the admixture they made,
The
oval of an Earth female with Anunnaki male essence they put together;
The
fertilized egg into the womb of Ninmah by Enki was inserted; there was
conception!
138
The
pregnancy, by an admixture conceived, how long will it last? to each other they wondered.
Will
it be nine months of Nibiru, will it be nine months of Earth?
Longer
than on Earth, quicker than on Nibiru, travail came; to a male child Ninmah birth was giving!
Enki
the boy child held in his hands; the image of perfection he was.
He
slapped the newborn on his hindparts; the newborn uttered proper sounds!
He
handed the newborn to Ninmah; she held him up in her hands.
My
hands have made it! victoriously she shouted.
A Ninmah gave birth to first
man - Adamu
Now
this is the account of how Adamu by name was called,
And
how Ti-Amat as a counterpart female for him was fashioned.
The
newborn's visage and limbs the leaders carefully examined:
Of
good shape were his ears, his eyes were not clogged,
His
limbs were proper, hindparts like legs, foreparts like hands were shaped.
Shaggy
like the wild ones he was not, dark black his head hair was,
Smooth
was his skin, smooth as the Anunnaki skin it was,
Like
dark red blood was its color, like the clay of the Abzu was its hue.
They
looked at his malehood: Odd was its shape, by a skin was its forepart
surrounded,
Unlike
that of Anunnaki malehood it was, a skin from its forepart was hanging!
this Jews and Muslims probably did not know, or they want to be an image to their creators
this Jews and Muslims probably did not know, or they want to be an image to their creators
Let
the Earthling from us Anunnaki by this foreskin be distinguished! So was Enki
saying.
The
newborn to cry was beginning; to her chest Ninmah closely drew him;
Her
breast to him she gave; the breast he began to suckle.
139
Perfection
we did attain! Ningishzidda with elation was saying.
Enki
at his sister was gazing; a mother and son, not Ninmah and a Being, he was
seeing.
A
name will you give him? Enki inquired. A Being he is, not a creature!
Ninmah
cast her hand upon the newborn's body, with her fingers his dark red skin she
caressed.
Adamu I shall call him! Ninmah
was saying. One Who Like Earth's Clay Is, that will be his name!
For
the newborn Adamu a crib they fashioned, in a corner of the House of Life they
placed him.
A
model for Primitive Workers we have indeed attained! Enki was saying.
Now
a host of Workers like him are needed! Ningishzidda his elders reminded.
A
model indeed he shall be; as for himself, like a Firstling he shall be treated,
From
toil he himself shall be protected, his essence alone as a mold shall be!
So
was Enki saying; by his decree Ninmah was greatly pleased.
Whose
wombs henceforth the fertilized ovals shall carry? Nigishzidda was asking.
The
leaders the matter pondered; Ninmah a solution offered.
From
her city Shurubak Ninmah female healers summoned, the task required to them she explained,
To
the crib of Adamu she led them, the newborn Earthling to perceive.
To
perform the task is not a commandment! Ninmah to them was saying; your own wish is the decision!
Of
the female Anunnaki assembled, seven stepped forward, seven the task accepted.
140
Let
their names for all time be remembered! Ninmah to Enki was saying.
Their
task is heroic, by them a race of Primitive Workers shall come into being!
The
seven stepped forward, each one her name was announcing; the names Ningishzidda
recorded:
Ninimma,
Shuzianna, Ninmada, Ninbara, Ninmug, Musardu, and Ningunna,
These
were the names of the seven who by their own wish birth mothers were to be,
Earthlings
in their wombs to conceive and bear, Primitive Workers to create.
In
seven vessels of the clay of the Abzu made, Ninmah ovals of the two-legged
females placed,
The
life essence of Adamu she extracted, bit by bit in the vessels she it inserted.
Then
in the malepart of Adamu an incision she made, a drop of blood to let out;
Let
this a Sign of Life be; that Flesh and Soul have combined let it forever
proclaim!
She
squeezed the malepart for blood, one drop of blood in each vessel to the
admixture she added.
In
this clay's admixture, Earthling with the Anunnaki shall be bound!
Thus
was Ninmah saying, an incantation she was pronouncing:
To
a unity shall the two essences, one of Heaven, one of Earth, together be
brought,
That
which is of Earth and that which is from Nibiru by a blood kinship shall be
bonded!
So
was Ninmah pronouncing; her words Ningishzidda also recorded.
In
the wombs of the birth-giving heroines the fertilized ovals were inserted.
141
There
teas conception; with anticipation was the allotted time counted.
At
the allotted time, birth-givings Were occurring!
At
the allotted time, seven male Earthings were born,
Seven Anunnaki heroines accept
to give birth for seven humans
Their
features were proper, good sounds they were uttering; by the heroines they were
suckled.
Seven
Primitive Workers have been created! Ningishzidda was saying.
Let
the procedure be repeated: seven more the toil to undertake!
My
son! to him Enki was saving. Not even seven by seven sufficient shall be,
Of
heroine healers too much is required, forever their task this way shall be!
Indeed,
the task is too demanding, glow beyond enduring it is! Ninmah to their said.
Female
ones we have to fashion! Enki was saying, for males counterparts to be.
Let
them know each other, as one flesh the two to become,
Let
them by themselves procreate, on their own the childbirthing make,
To
Primitive Workers by themselves give birth, Anunnaki females to relieve!
The
ME formulas you must change, from male to female adjustment make! So did Enki to Nigishzidda say.
For
a counterpart to Adamu to be fashioned, in the womb of an Anunnaki female conception is needed!
So
did Ningishzidda to his father Enki in responding say.
Enki
at Ninmah his gaze directed; before she could speak, he raised his hand.
Let
me this time Ninki my spouse summon! With strong voice he said,
If
she is willing, let her the mold for the female Earthling create!
142
They
to the Abzu, to the House of Life, Ninki summoned,
They
showed her Adamu, all that matters to her they explained,
Of
the task that is required they gave explanations, of success and danger to her an account gave.
By
the task Ninki was fascinated. Let it be done! she to them said.
By
the ME formulas Ningishzidda adjusting made, by the admixture was an oval
fertilized,
Into
the womb of his spouse Enki it inserted; with much care he did it.
There
was conception; in the allotted time Ninki was in travail; a birth there was
not.
Ninki
the months counted, Ninmah the months counted;
The
tenth month, a month of evil fates, they began to call.
Ninmah,
the lady whose hand wombs has opened, with a cutter an incision made.
Her
head was covered, on her hands protections she wore;
With
dexterity the opening she made, her face at once was brightened:
That
which in the womb was from the womb came forth.
A
female! A female birth was given! to Ninki with joy she shouted.
The
newborn's visage and limbs they carefully examined,
Of
good shape were her ears, her eyes were not clogged;
Her
limbs were proper, hindparts like legs, foreparts like hands were shaped;
Shaggy
she was not, like beach sands was the hue of her head hair,
Her
skin smooth was, as that of the Anunnaki in smoothness and color it was.
Ninmah
the girl child held in her hands. She slapped her hindparts;
Proper
sounds the newborn uttered!
To
Ninki, the spouse of Enki, she the newborn handed, to be suckled, nourished,
and raised.
143
A
name will you give her? Enki of his spouse inquired. A Being she is, not a
creature.
In
your image she is and after your likeness,
Perfectly
she is fashioned, a model for female workers you have attained!
Ninki
cast her hand upon the newborn's body, with her fingers her skin she caressed.
Ti-Amat
let her name be, the Mother of Life! Ninki was saying.
Ninti gave birth to first human female
Like
the planet of old of which the Earth and the Moon were fashioned, let her be
called,
From
her womb's life essences other birth-givers shall be molded,
To
a multitude of Primitive Workers she thereby life will be giving
Thus
was Ninki saying; the others words of concurring uttered.
Now
this is the account of Adamu and Ti-Amat in the Edin,
And
how they Knowing of procreation were given and to the Abzu expelled.
After
Ti-Amat in the womb of Ninki was fashioned,
In
seven vessels of the clay of the Abzu made Ninmah ovals of the two-legged
females placed.
The
life essence of Ti-Amat she extracted, bit by bit in the vessels she it
inserted.
In
the vessels of the clay of the Abzu made, Ninmah the admixture. formed;
Incantations
as the procedure befits she was uttering.
In
the wombs of the birth-giving heroines the fertilized ovals were inserted;
There
was conception, at the allotted time birth-giving; were occurring,
At
the allotted time, seven female Earthlings were born.
144
Their
features were proper, good sounds they were uttering.
Thus
were seven female counterparts for the Primitive Workers created;
Seven
male and seven female did the four leaders create them.
After
the Earthlings were thus created,
Let
the males the females inseminate, let the Primitive Workers by themselves
offspring beget!
So
was Enki to the others saying. .After the allotted time, offsprings other
offspring; will beget.
Plentiful
will be the Primitive Workers' numbers, the toil of the Anunnaki they shall
hear!
Enki
and Ninki, Ninmah and Ningishzidda were joyful, the fruit's elixir they were
drinking.
For
the semen and seven cages they made, among the trees they placed them;
Let
them together grow up, malehoods and femalehoods attain,
Let
the males the females insemiante, let them by themselves offspring beget!
So
were they to each other saying.
As
for Adamu and Ti-Amat, from the toil of the excavations they shall be
protected,
Let
us them to the Edin being over, to the Anunnaki therein our handiwork display!
So
was Enki to the others saying; with that the others did concur.
To Eridu, in the Edin the city of Enki, Adamu and Ti-Amat were
taken.
An
abode in an enclosure for them was built, to roam therein they could.
The
Anunnaki of the Edin came to see them, from the Landing Place they came.
Enlil
came to see them; by the sight his displeasure was diminished.
145
Ninurta
came to see them; Ninlil did as well.
From
the way station on Lahmu Marduk the son of Enki also came down to see.
It
was a sight most astounding, a wonder of wonders it was to behold!
Your
hands have made it, the Anunnaki to the fashioners were saying.
The
Igigi who between Earth and Lahmu shuttled were also all agog.
Primitive
Workers have been fashioned, our days of toil to end! So were they, all saying.
In
the Abzu the newborns were growing, for their maturing the Anunnaki were
anticipating.
Enki
was the supervisor, Ninmah and Ningishzidda also came.
In
the excavations the Anunnaki were grumbling, patience to impatience gave way.
Ennugi,
their overseer, of Enki was often inquiring; for Primitive Workers the outcry
he conveyed.
The
circuits of Earth grew in number, maturity of the Earthlings was overdue;
No
conceiving among the females was observed, there was no birth-giving!
By
the cages among the trees Ningishzidda a couch of grass for himself made;
Day
and night the Earthlings he was watching, their doings to ascertain.
Indeed
he saw them mating, the males the females were inseminating!
Conceiving
there was not, birth-giving there was not.
Enki
the matter deeply pondered, the creatures once combined he contemplated;
None,
not one of them, had offspring begotten!
146
By
two kinds combined, a curse has been created! Enki to the others said.
Let
us the essences of Adamu and Ti-Amat afresh examine! Ningishzidda was saying.
Their
ME's bit by bit to be studied, what is wrong to ascertain!
In
Shurubak, in the House of Healing, the essences of Adamu and Ti-Amat were
contemplated,
With
the life essence of Anunnaki males and females they were compared.
Like
two entwined serpents Ningishzidda the essences separated,
Arranged
like twenty-two branches on a Tree of Life were the essences,
Their
bits were comparable, the images and likenesses they properly determined.
Twenty-two they were in number; the ability to procreate they did
not include!
Another
two bits of the essence in the Anunnaki present Nigishzidda to the others
showed.
One
male, one female; without them there was no procreating! So was he to them
explaining.
In
the molds of Adamu and Ti-Amat, in the combining they were not included!
Ninmah
heard this and was distraught; with frustration was Enki seized.
The
clamor in the Abzu is great, mutiny is again in the making! So was Enki to them
saying.
Primitive
Workers must be procured lest the gold extracting shall be ceasing!
Ningishzidda,
in these matters learned, a solution was proposing;
To
his elders, Enki and Ninmah, in the House of Healing he whispered.
They
all the heroines who Ninmah were assisting sent away,
147
They
locked the door behind them, the three with the two Earthlings alone remaining.
Upon
the four others Ningishzidda a deep sleep caused to descend, the four he made
unfeeling.
From the rib of Enki the life essence he extracted,
Into the rib of Adamu the life essence of Enki he inserted;
From the rib of Ninmah the life essence he extracted,
Into the rib of Ti-Amat the life essence he inserted.
Where
the incisions were made, the flesh thereon he closed up.
Then
the four of them by Ningishzidda were awakened. It is done! he proudly
declared.
To
their Tree of Life two branches have been added,
With
procreating power, their life essences are now entwined!
Let
them freely roam, as one flesh let thorn knots each other! Ninmah was saying.
In
the Edin's orchards, to freely roam Adamu and Ti-Amat were placed.
Of their nakedness they became aware, of malehood and femalehood
they were knowing.
Ti-Amat
of leaves aprons made, from the wild beasts to be distinguished.
In
the heat of the day Enlil in the orchard was strolling, the shade he was
enjoying.
Without
expectation Adamu and Ti-Amat he encountered, the aprons on their loins he
noticed.
What
is the meaning of this? Enlil wondered; Enki for explaining he summoned.
The
matter of procreation Enki to Enlil
explained:
The
seven and seven had failed, to Enlil he admitted;
Ningishzidda
the life essence: examined an additional combining was needed!
148
Great
was Enlil's anger, furious his words were:
The
whole thing was not to my liking, for acting as Creators I had opposed.
The
Being that we need, it already exists! So were you, Enki, saying,
All
we need is put our mark on it, thereby Primitive Workers to fashion!
Healing
heroines themselves put at risk, Ninmah and Ninki were endangered,
To
no avail it was all, your handiwork was a failure!
Now
the last bits of our life essence to these creatures you have given,
To
be like us in procreation knowing, perchance our life cycles on them to bestow!
Thus
did Enlil with angry words speak.
Enki
Ninmah and Ningishzidda summoned, with words Enlil to pacify.
My
lord Enlil! Ningishzidda was saying. Knowing for procreation they were given,
The
branch of Long Living, to their essence tree was not!
Ninmah
then spoke up, to her brother Enlil she was saying:
What
was the choice, my brother? To end it all in failure, Nibiru in doom to face
its fate,
Or
to try and try and try, and by procreation let Earthlings the toil undertake?
Then
let them be where they are needed! Enlil with anger said.
To the Abzu, away from the Edin, let them be expelled!
Enlil
trow Adamu and Ti-amat out of Edin
