Cave of Treasures, of which I have before spoken to you."

18 And when Adam heard this Word from God, he was
comforted with that which God had told him. For He had
told him how He would save him.



Chapter IV - Adam mourns over the changed conditions.
Adam and Eve enter the Cave of Treasures.


1 But Adam and Eve cried for having come out of the
garden, their first home.

2 And indeed, when Adam looked at his flesh, that was
altered, he cried bitterly, he and Eve, over what they had
done. And they walked and went gently down into the Cave
of Treasures.

3 And as they came to it, Adam cried over himself and
said to Eve, "Look at this cave that is to be our prison
in this world, and a place of punishment!

4 What is it compared with the garden? What is its
narrowness compared with the space of the other?

5 What is this rock, by the side of those groves?
What is the gloom of this cavern, compared with the light
of the garden?
