1 When Adam and Eve heard these words from God, they
cried and sobbed yet more; but they strengthened their
hearts in God, because they now felt that the Lord was to
them like a father and a mother; and for this very reason,
they cried before Him, and sought mercy from Him.
2 Then God had pity on them, and said: "O Adam, I have
made My covenant with you, and I will not turn from it;
neither will I let you return to the garden, until My
covenant of the great five and a half days is fulfilled."
3 Then Adam said to God, "O Lord, You created us, and
made us fit to be in the garden; and before I transgressed,
You made all beasts come to me, that I should name them.
4 Your grace was then on me; and I named every one according
to Your mind; and you made them all subject to me.
5 But now, O Lord God, that I have transgressed Your
commandment, all beasts will rise against me and will
devour me, and Eve Your handmaid; and will cut off our life
from the face of the earth.
6 I therefore beg you, O God, that since You have made
us come out of the garden, and have made us be in a strange
land, You will not let the beasts hurt us.
