or you, who pretended to
give you the Godhead and greatness; and, behold, he burns you with
fire, and seeks to destroy you from off the earth.

5 Then look at Me, O Adam; I created you, and how many times have I

you?"

6 God said again to Eve, "What is that he promised you in the garden,
saying, 'As soon as you eat from the tree, your eyes will be opened,
and you shall become like gods, knowing good and evil.' But look! He

3 Then Adam and Eve passed into the cave, blessing themselves for
coming into it once more. For it was in their thoughts, that they
never should enter it, when they saw the fire around it.

4 But as the sun was setting the fire was still burning and nearing
Adam and Eve in the cave, so that they could not sleep in it. After
the sun had set, they went out of it. This was the forty-seventh day

5 Adam and Eve then came under the top of hill by the garden to sleep,
as they were accustomed.

6 And they stood and prayed God to forgive them their sins, and then
fell asleep under the summit of the mountain.

7 But Satan, the hater of all good, thought within himself: "Wh
