Book of 1 Adam and Eve - Chapter 19

1 Adam and Eve 19:1

But Adam and Eve cried before God. And Adam said to Him:—

1 Adam and Eve 19:2

"O Lord, when I was in the cave, I said this to you, my Lord, the beasts of the field would rise and devour me, and cut off my life from the earth."

1 Adam and Eve 19:3

Then Adam, because of what had happened to him, beat his chest and fell on the ground like a corpse. Then the Word of God came to him, who raised him, and said to him,

1 Adam and Eve 19:4

"O Adam, not one of these beasts will be able to hurt you; because I have made the beasts and other moving things come to you in the cave. I did not let the serpent come with them because it might have risen against you and made you tremble; and the fear of it should fall into your hearts.

1 Adam and Eve 19:5

For I knew that the accursed one is wicked; therefore I would not let it come near you with the other beasts.

1 Adam and Eve 19:6

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