laid the gold on the southern side; incense, on the eastern side; and
myrrh on the western side.' Now come to him."

8 When Eve hear these words from him, she rejoiced greatly. And
thinking Satan's appearance was real, she came out of the sea.

9 He went before, and she followed him until they came to Adam. Then
Satan hid himself from her, and she saw him no more.

10 She then came and stood before Adam, who was standing by the water
and rejoicing in God's forgiveness.

11 And as she called to him, he turned around, found her there and
cried when he saw her, and beat his chest; and from the bitterness of

3 There they stood and prayed and besought God to grant them
forgiveness of their sins.

4 And after their prayers Adam began to beg God, saying, "O my Lord, my
God, and my Creator, You commanded the four elements* to be gathered
together, and they were gathered together by Thine order.

5 Then You spread Your hand and created me out of one element, that of
dust of the earth; and You brought me into the garden at the third
hour, on a Friday, and informed me of it in the cave.

6 Then, at first, I knew neither night nor day, for I had a bright
