6 But now strengthen your heart and fear not. I am with you to the end
of the days I have determined on you."

Chapter XX - Adam wishes to protect Eve.

1 Then Adam cried and said, "O God, take us away to some other place,
where the serpent can not come near us again, and rise against us. For
fear that it might find Your handmaid Eve alone and kill her; for its
eyes are hideous and evil."

2 But God said to Adam and Eve, "From now on, don't be afraid, I will
not let it come near you; I have driven it away from you, from this
mountain; neither will I leave in it the ability to hurt you."

3 Then Adam and Eve worshipped before God and gave Him thanks, and
praised Him for having delivered them from death.

Chapter XXI - Adam and Eve attempt suicide.

1 Then Adam and Eve went in search of the garden.

2 And the heat beat like a flame on their faces; and they sweated from
the heat, and cried before the Lord.

3 But the place where they cried was close to a high mountain, facing

Chapter XXII - Adam in a gracious mood.

1 Then Adam said to God, "I dry up in the heat, I am faint from
walking, and I don't want to be in this world. And I don't know when
You will take me out of it to rest."

2 Then the Lord God said to him, "O Adam, it cannot be now, not until
you have ended your days. Then shall I bring you out of this miserable
land."

3 And Adam said to God, "While I was in the garden I knew neither heat,
