The creator and uthra Ptahil, son of Abatur, created Adam Pagria with his helpers, the Seven Planets and the Twelve Zodiacs, from clay and other elements. With the help of Ruha, Ptahil gave Adam Pagria the spirit. Manda d-Hayyi and Hibil gave the World of Light soul (Adam Kasia) to the body. Hawa ({{lang|myz|ࡄࡀࡅࡀ}}, Eve) was then created as a companion for the first bodily Adam.
