y; they neither ate of the fruit the earth, nor drank water.

2 And when it dawned on the eighth day, Adam said to Eve, "O Eve, we
prayed God to give us something from the garden, and He sent his angels
who brought us what we had desired.

3 But now, get up, let us go to the sea of water we saw at first, and
let us stand in it, praying that God will again be favorable to us and
take us back to the garden; or give us something; or that He will give
us comfort in some other land than this in which we are."

4 Then Adam and Eve came out of the cave, went and stood on the border

4 Then the hater of all good, went not to Adam, but he went to Eve, and
took the form of an angel of God, praising and rejoicing, and said to
her:--

5 "Peace be to you! Be glad and rejoice! God is favorable to you, and
He sent me to Adam. I have brought him the glad tidings of salvation,
and of his being filled with bright light as he was at first.
