ou, and warned you, and you fell. So that My
creatures cannot blame Me; but the blame rests on them alone.

20 And, O Adam, I have made the day so that you and your descendants
can work and toil in it. And I have made the night for them to rest in
it from their work; and for the beasts of the field to go forth by
night and look for their food.

21 But little of darkness now remains, O Adam, and daylight will soon
appear."

Chapter XIV - The earliest prophesy of the coming of Christ.

1 Then Adam said to God: "O Lord, take You my soul, and let me not see
this gloom any more; or remove me to some place where there is no
darkness."

years, of times, of months, and of days, and I shall be reckoned as one
of the sons of men, in order to save you."

6 And God ceased to commune with Adam.

Chapter XV - Adam and Eve grieve over the suffering of God to save them
from their sins.

1 Then Adam and Eve cried and sorrowed by reason of God's word to them,
that they should not return to the garden until the fulfillment of the
days decreed on them; but mostly because God had told them that He
should suffer for their salvation.

Chapter XVI - The first sunrise. Adam and Eve think it is a fire
coming to burn them.

1 After this, Adam and Eve continued to stand in the cave, praying and
crying, until the morning dawned on them.

2 And when they saw the light returned to them, they retrained from
fear, and strengthened their hearts.

3 Then Adam began to come out of the cave. And when he came to the
mouth of it,
