nger and
thirst and prayer. But they watched the whole of that night praying,
until morning.

14 Then Adam said to Eve, "Get up, let us go towards the eastern gate
of the garden as God told us."

15 And they said their prayers as they were accustomed to do every day;
and they left the cave to go near to the eastern gate of the garden.

16 Then Adam and Eve stood up and prayed, and appealed to God to
strengthen them, and to send them something to satisfy their hunger.

17 But after they finished their prayers, they were too weak to move.

18 Then came the Word of God again, and said to them, "O Adam, get up,
go and bring the two figs here."

19 Then Adam and Eve got up, and went until they came near to the cave.

Chapter LXII - Two fruit trees.

1 But Satan the wicked was envious, because of the consolation God had
given them.

2 So he prevented them, and went into the cave and took the two figs,
and buried them outside the cave, so that Adam and Eve should not find

had in mind, when I buried them, to destroy them entirely, and to hide
them forever.

5 But God has overturned my counsel; and would not that this sacred
fruit should perish; and He has made plain my intention, and has
defeated the counsel I had formed against His servants."

6 Then Satan went away ashamed because he hadn't thought his plans all
the way through.

Chapter LXIII - The first joy of trees.

1 But Adam and Eve, as they got closer to the cave, saw two fig trees,
covered with fruit, and overshadowing the cave.

2 Then Adam said to Eve, "It seems to me that we have gone the wrong
way. When did these two trees grow here? It seems to me that the
enemy wishes to lead us the wrong way. Do you suppose that there is
another cave besides this one in the earth?

3 Yet, O Eve, let us go into the cave, and find in it the two figs; for
this is our cave, in which we we
