Adam went out, and brought some, as the angel had commanded him.

6 Then the angel began before them to work out the skins, after the
manner of one who prepares a shirt. And he took the thorns and stuck
them into the skins, before their eyes.

7 Then the angel again stood up and prayed God that the thorns in those
skins should be hidden, so as to be, as it were, sewn with one thread.

8 And so it was, by God's order; they became garments for Adam and Eve,
and He clothed them therewith.

9 From that time the nakedness of their bodies was covered from the

in which was your living place?

5 Now then, turn back to your cave, and remain in it, so that Satan
won't deceive you or work his purpose over you.

6 For in this western border, O Adam, there will go from you a
