7 Adam rejoiced at these words which he heard from God; and he and Eve
worshipped before the altar, to which they bowed, and then went back to
the Cave of Treasures.

18 And this took place at the end of the twelfth day after the
eightieth day, from the time Adam and Eve came out of the garden.

19 And they stood up the whole night praying until morning; and then
went out of the cave.

20 Then Adam said to Eve, with joy of heart, because of the offering
they had made to God, and that had been accepted of Him, "Let us do
this three times every week, on the fourth day Wednesday, on the
preparation day Friday, and on the Sabbath Sunday, all the days of our
life."

21 And as they agreed to these words between themselves, God was
pleased with their thoughts, and with the resolution they had each
taken with the other.

22 After this, came the Word of God to Adam, and said, "O Adam, you

create joy, and raise them on high, who believe in Me; O Adam, offer
this offering, all the days of your life."

times, until the end of seven weeks. And on the first day, which is
the fiftieth, Adam made an offering as he was accustomed, and he and
Eve took it and came to the altar before God, as He had taught them.

was praying over the offering on the altar; when Satan beat him.

1 Then Satan, the hater of all good, envious of Adam and of his
offering through which he found favor with God, hastened and took a
sharp stone from among the sharp iron stones; appeared in the form of a
man, and went and stood by Adam and Eve.

2 Adam was then offering on the altar, and had begun to pray, with his
hands spread before God.

3 Then Satan hastened with the sharp iron stone he had with him, and
with it pierced Adam on the right side, from which flowed blood and
water, then Adam fell on the altar like a corpse. And Satan fled.

4 Then Eve came, and took Adam and placed him below the altar. And
there she stayed, crying over him; while a stream of blood
