§ 10

Verse: (a) Who was the first to offer hospitality (gart) and how did he go about? (b) How come that bitter and sweet came into being together on a single night? Answer in interlinear gloss: (a) Seth son of Adam: he gave a feast (fled) for his brothers on Mount Tabor (Slíab Taboir); he gave each brother [the amount] according to his stock/wealth (crod) so that they gave him their blessings in return; (b) Michael told Adam to bless the fruit, because the demon of temptation (demon aslaig) would come to bring decay to it; everything that Adam blessed was sweet, while everything that the Devil touched was bitter.
