Chapter III - Concerning the promise of the great five and
a half days.
1 God said to Adam, "I have ordained on this earth
days and years, and you and your descendants shall live and
walk in them, until the days and years are fulfilled; when
I shall send the Word that created you, and against which
you have transgressed, the Word that made you come out of
the garden, and that raised you when you were fallen.
2 Yes, the Word that will again save you when the five
and a half days are fulfilled."
3 But when Adam heard these words from God, and of the
great five and a half days, he did not understand the
meaning of them.
4 For Adam was thinking there would be only five and a
half days for him until the end of the world.
5 And Adam cried, and prayed to God to explain it to him.
6 Then God in his mercy for Adam who was made after
His own image and likeness, explained to him, that these
were 5,000 and 500 years; and how One would then come and
save him and his descendants.
7 But before that, God had made this covenant with our
father, Adam, in the same terms, before he came out of the
garden, when he was by the tree where Eve took of the fruit
and gave it to him to eat.
