description According to the manuscripts of Philo of Alexandria's "Congr" 171, God expelled both Adam and Cain from Paradise. Believing that Philo could not have thought that Cain had ever been in Paradise, Mangey and Colson wished to emend 'Cain' to 'Eve.' However, a tradition found in bSanh 38b and elsewhere places the birth of the first two (unnamed) children before the first sin and the subsequent expulsion from Paradise. Hence, consistently with such a tradition, Philo could well have thought that God literally expelled these first two children from Eden. In related texts, Philo shows that he thought that these children were Cain and Abel, and that they were twins. There is thus no reason to reject the reading of the manuscripts in "Congr" 171.
