Me in a rock, and seal a large stone over Me, and I shall remain within
that rock three days and three nights.

9 But on the third day I shall rise again, and it shall be salvation to
you, O Adam, and to your descendants, to believe in Me. But, O Adam, I

10 And God withdrew His Word from Adam.

11 But Adam and Eve lived under the rock three days and three nights,
