Book of 1 Adam and Eve - Chapter 32

1 Adam and Eve 32:1

And Adam and Eve remained in the Cave of Treasures until the seventh day; they neither ate of the fruit the earth, nor drank water.

1 Adam and Eve 32:2

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.

1 Adam and Eve 32:3

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."

1 Adam and Eve 32:4

Then Adam and Eve came out of the cave, went and stood on the border of the sea in which they had before thrown themselves, and Adam said to Eve:—

1 Adam and Eve 32:5

Come, go down into this place, and come not out of it until the end of thirty days, when I shall come to you. And pray to God with burning heart and a sweet voice, to forgive us.

1 Adam and Eve 32:6

And I will go to another place, and go down into it, and do like you."

1 Adam and Eve 32:7

Then Eve went down into the water, as Adam had commanded her. Adam also went down into the water; and they stood praying; and besought the Lord to forgive them their offense, and to restore them to their former state.

1 Adam and Eve 32:8

And they stood like that praying, until the end of the thirty-five days.
