142. What did He do? He called Samael, ESAU'S MINISTER ABOVE, who came before Him. He said to him, 'Do you want My Torah?' And he said, What is written in her? He said, "You shall not murder" (Shemot 20:13), since the Holy One, blessed be He, skipped to show him the necessary place - HE SKIPPED TO THE COMMANDMENT THAT HE KNEW HE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO KEEP. SAMAEL said, Heaven forbid, this Torah is Yours and Yours it shall remain. I do not desire such a Torah. He again beseeched of Him saying, Master of the World, if You give me THIS TORAH, my entire government will cease, since my entire domination is based on killing. AND IF I ACCEPT THE TORAH, there will no longer be wars. My rule is over the planet Maadim (Mars) THAT INDICATES SPILLING OF BLOOD. If so, all becomes void from the world.
142. מָה עֲבַד. קָרָא לְסָמָאֵל, וְאָתָא קַמֵּיהּ, וְאָמַר לֵיהּ תִּבְעֵי אוֹרַיְיתָא דִּילִי. אָמַר, מַה כְּתִיב בָּהּ. אָמַר לֵיהּ, לֹא תִרְצַח. דָּלִיג קוּדְשָׁא בְּרִיךְ הוּא לַאֲתָר דְּאִצְטְרִיךְ. אָמַר ח"ו, אוֹרַיְיתָא דָּא דִּילָךְ הִיא, וְדִילָךְ יְהֵא, לָא בָּעֵינָא אוֹרַיְיתָא דָּא. אָתִיב וְאִתְחַנָּן קַמֵּיהּ, אָמַר מָארֵיהּ דְּעָלְמָא, אִי אַתְּ יָהֲבָהּ לִי, כָּל שָׁלְטָנוּ דִּילִי אִתְעֲבָר, דְּהָא שָׁלְטָנוּ דִּילִי עַל קְטּוּלָא אִיהוּ, וּקְרָבִין לָא יֵהוֹן וְשֻלְטָנוּ דִּילִי עַל כֹּכָבָא דְּמַאֲדִים, א"ה כֹּלָּא אִתְבְּטַל מֵעָלְמָא.
