1 Adam and Eve 3:7īut before that, God had made this covenant with our father, Adam, in the same terms, before he came out of the garden, when he was by the tree where Eve took of the fruit and gave it to him to eat. Then God in his mercy for Adam who was made after His own image and likeness, explained to him, that these were 5,000 and 500 years and how One would then come and save him and his descendants. 1 Adam and Eve 3:5Īnd Adam cried, and prayed to God to explain it to him. 1 Adam and Eve 3:4įor Adam was thinking there would be only five and a half days for him until the end of the world. Yes, the Word that will again save you when the five and a half days are fulfilled." 1 Adam and Eve 3:3īut when Adam heard these words from God, and of the great five and a half days, he did not understand the meaning of them. God said to Adam, "I have ordained on this earth days and years, and you and your descendants shall live and walk in them, until the days and years are fulfilled when I shall send the Word that created you, and against which you have transgressed, the Word that made you come out of the garden, and that raised you when you were fallen. Therefore God had pity on them and when He saw them fallen before the gate of the garden, He sent His Word to our father, Adam and Eve, and raised them from their fallen state.ġ Adam and Eve - Chapter 3 1 Adam and Eve 3:1 1 Adam and Eve 2:4Īnd because, when they were in the garden they were filled with the grace of a bright nature, and they had not hearts turned toward earthly things. 1 Adam and Eve 2:3īecause-whereas until this time they had been in the garden land, beautifully planted with all manner of trees-they now saw themselves, in a strange land, which they knew not, and had never seen. 1 Adam and Eve 2:2Īnd when they came to the opening of the gate of the garden, and saw the broad earth spread before them, covered with stones large and small, and with sand, they feared and trembled, and fell on their faces, from the fear that came over them and they were as dead. 1 Adam and Eve 1:9Īnd God commanded him to live there in a cave in a rock-the Cave of Treasures below the garden.ġ Adam and Eve - Chapter 2 1 Adam and Eve 2:1īut when our father Adam, and Eve, went out of the garden, they walked the ground on their feet, not knowing they were walking. 1 Adam and Eve 1:8Īgain, also, because God is merciful and of great pity, and governs all things in a way that He alone knows-He made our father Adam live in the western border of the garden, because on that side the earth is very broad. This was so that he would not be able to smell the sweet smell of those trees, forget his transgression, and find consolation for what he had done by taking delight in the smell of the trees and yet not be cleansed from his transgression. 1 Adam and Eve 1:6Īs to the southern side of the garden, God did not want Adam to live there either because, when the wind blew from the north, it would bring him, on that southern side, the delicious smell of the trees of the garden. This was so that he and Eve would not be able to go near to the sea of water where they could wash themselves in it, be cleansed from their sins, erase the transgression they had committed, and be no longer reminded of it in the thought of their punishment.
1 Adam and Eve 1:5īut when God made Adam go out of the garden, He did not place him on the border of it northward.
Among them are righteous ones who will die, whose souls God would raise at the last day when all of them will return to their flesh, bathe in the water of that sea, and repent of their sins. 1 Adam and Eve 1:4Īnd God created that sea of his own good pleasure, for He knew what would come of the man He would make so that after he had left the garden, on account of his transgression, men should be born in the earth. 1 Adam and Eve 1:3Īnd when a man washes himself in it, he becomes clean of the cleanness thereof, and white of its whiteness-even if he were dark. 1 Adam and Eve 1:2Īnd to the north of the garden there is a sea of water, clear and pure to the taste, unlike anything else so that, through the clearness thereof, one may look into the depths of the earth. On the third day, God planted the garden in the east of the earth, on the border of the world eastward, beyond which, towards the sun-rising, one finds nothing but water, that encompasses the whole world, and reaches to the borders of heaven. 1 Adam and Eve - Chapter 1 1 Adam and Eve 1:1
