1st Eden
|
Book of Adam and Eve Chapter 10 Adam said, after he was raised,
"O God, while we were in the garden we did not require, or care for
this water; but since we came to this land we cannot do without it." 5
Then God said to Adam, "While you were under My command and were a bright
angel, you knew not this water. 6 But now that you have transgressed My
commandment, you can not do without water, wherein to wash your body and make
it grow; for it is now like that of beasts, and is in want of water." 7 When
Adam and Eve heard these words from God, they cried a bitter cry; and Adam
entreated God to let him return into the garden, and look at it a
second time. 8 But God said to Adam,
"I have made you a promise; when that
promise is fulfilled, I will bring you back into the garden,
you and your
righteous descendants."
9 And God ceased to commune with Adam. |
