Book of 1 Adam and Eve - Chapter 8

1 Adam and Eve 8:1

Then Adam cried and said, "O God, when we lived in the garden, and our hearts were lifted up, we saw the angels that sang praises in heaven, but now we can't see like we used to; no, when we entered the cave, all creation became hidden from us."

1 Adam and Eve 8:2

Then God the Lord said to Adam, "When you were under subjection to Me, you had a bright nature within you, and for that reason could you see things far away. But after your transgression your bright nature was withdrawn from you; and it was not left to you to see things far away, but only near at hand; after the ability of the flesh; for it is brutish."

1 Adam and Eve 8:3

When Adam and Eve had heard these words from God, they went their way; praising and worshipping Him with a sorrowful heart.

1 Adam and Eve 8:4

And God ceased to commune with them.
