xvii 1 And instantly he hung himself from the wall of paradise, and when the angels ascended to 2 worship God, then Satan appeared in the form of an angel and sang hymns like the angels. And I bent over the wall and saw him, like an angel. But he saith to me: "Art thou Eve?" And I said 3 to him, "I am." "What art thou doing in paradise?" And I said to him, "God set us to guard and 4 to eat of it." The devil answered through the mouth of the serpent: "Ye do well but ye do not eat 5 of every plant." And I said: "Yea, we eat of all, save one only, which is in the midst of paradise, concerning which, God charged us not to eat of it: for, He said to us, on the day on which ye eat of it, ye shall die the death."

Why Pitre cites it
The devil 'spoke through the mouth of the serpent' — the first-century Jewish identification of the serpent with Satan that Revelation 12:9 shares.
Notes
Verse numbers (1–5) kept inline where the web transcription places them (mid-sentence, following the APOT layout). Transcription's mixed single/double quotation marks normalised to double quotes and one OCR full stop ('all. save') corrected to a comma; wording untouched. The preceding chapter 16:5 has the devil say 'only be my vessel and I will speak through thy mouth words to deceive him.'
