76:3.3 The [[civil]] rulers of the Adamites were derived hereditarily from the sons of [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_73 the first garden]. Adam's first son, Adamson (Adam ben Adam), founded a secondary [[center]] of the [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_76#76:4._THE_VIOLET_RACE violet race] to the north of the ''second Eden''. Adam's second son, Eveson, became a masterly [[leader]] and [[administrator]]; he was the great helper of his [[father]]. Eveson lived not quite so long as [[Adam]], and his eldest son, Jansad, became the successor of Adam as the head of the Adamite tribes.

76:3.4 The religious rulers, or [[priesthood]], originated with ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sethianism Seth]'', the eldest surviving son of [[Adam and Eve]] born in the ''second garden''. He was born one hundred and twenty-nine years after Adam's arrival on [[Urantia]]. Seth became absorbed in the [[work]] of improving the [[spiritual]] [[status]] of his [[father]]'s people, becoming the head of the new [[priesthood]] of the second garden. His son, Enos, founded the new order of [[worship]], and his grandson, Kenan, instituted the foreign missionary [[service]] to the surrounding [[tribes]], near and far.

76:3.5 The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sethianism Sethite priesthood] was a threefold undertaking, embracing [[religion]], [[health]], and [[education]]. The [[priests]] of this order were [[trained]] to officiate at religious [[ceremonies]], to serve as physicians and sanitary inspectors, and to [[act]] as [[teachers]] in the schools of the garden.

76:3.6 [[Adam]]'s caravan had carried the seeds and bulbs of hundreds of [[plants]] and [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cereals cereals] of the [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_73 first garden] with them to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tigris%E2%80%93Euphrates_river_system the land between the rivers]; they also had brought along extensive herds and some of all the [[domesticated]] [[animals]]. Because of this they possessed great advantages over the [[surrounding]] [[tribes]]. They enjoyed many of the benefits of the previous [[culture]] of the [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_73 original Garden].

76:3.7 Up to the time of leaving the [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_73 first garden], [[Adam]] and his [[family]] had always subsisted on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fruits fruits], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cereals cereals], and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuts nuts]. On the way to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesopotamia Mesopotamia] they had, for the first time, partaken of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herbs herbs] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vegetables vegetables]. The eating of meat was early introduced into the ''second garden'', but [[Adam and Eve]] never partook of flesh as a part of their regular [[diet]]. Neither did Adamson nor Eveson nor the other [[children]] of the first [[generation]] of the [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_73 first garden] become [[Carnivorous|flesh eaters]].

76:3.8 The Adamites greatly excelled the [[surrounding]] [[people]]s in [[cultural]] achievement and [[intellectual]] [[development]]. They produced the third [[alphabet]] and otherwise laid the [[foundations]] for much that was the forerunner of [[modern]] [[art]], [[science]], and [[literature]]. Here in the [[land]]s between the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tigris%E2%80%93Euphrates_river_system Tigris and Euphrates] they maintained [[the arts]] of [[writing]], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metallurgy metalworking], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pottery#History pottery making], and [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weaving weaving] and produced a type of [[architecture]] that was not excelled in thousands of years.

76:3.9 The [[home]] life of the [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_76#76:4._THE_VIOLET_RACE violet peoples] was, for their day and age, [[ideal]].

76:3.10 And when [[thinking]] of the Sethite [[priesthood]], do not [[confuse]] those high-minded and [[noble]] [[teachers]] of [[health]] and [[religion]], those true educators, with the debased and [[commercial]] priesthoods of the later tribes and surrounding nations. Their religious [[concepts]] of [[Deity]] and the [[universe]] were advanced and more or less accurate, their [[health]] provisions were, for their time, excellent, and their [[methods]] of [[education]] have never since been surpassed.
