8 Because, when our father Adam came out of the garden,
he passed by that tree, and saw how God had changed the appearance
of it into another form, and how it shriveled.
9 And as Adam went to it he feared, trembled and fell
down; but God in His mercy lifted him up, and then made
this covenant with him.
10 And again, when Adam was by the gate of the garden,
and saw the cherub with a sword of flashing fire in his
hand, and the cherub grew angry and frowned at him, both
Adam and Eve became afraid of him, and thought he meant to
put them to death. So they fell on their faces, trembled
with fear.
11 But he had pity on them, and showed them mercy; and
turning from them went up to heaven, and prayed to the
Lord, and said; --
12 "Lord, You sent me to watch at the gate of the
garden, with a sword of fire.
13 But when Your servants, Adam and Eve, saw me, they
fell on their faces, and were as dead. O my Lord, what
shall we do to Your servants?"
14 Then God had pity on them, and showed them mercy,
and sent His Angel to keep the garden.
