"
7 When the Lord heard these words from Adam, He had
pity on him, and felt that he had truly said that the
beasts of the field would rise and devour him and Eve,
because He, the Lord, was angry with the two of them on
account of their transgressions.
8 Then God commanded the beasts, and the birds, and
all that moves on the earth, to come to Adam and to be
familiar with him, and not to trouble him and Eve; nor yet
any of the good and righteous among their offspring.
9 Then all the beasts paid homage to Adam, according
to the commandment of God; except the serpent, against
which God was angry. It did not come to Adam, with the beasts.
Chapter VIII - The "Bright Nature" of man is taken away.
1 Then Adam cried and said, "O God, when we lived in
the garden, and our hearts were lifted up, we saw the
angels that sang praises in heaven, but now we can't see
like we used to; no, when we entered the cave, all creation
became hidden from us."
2 Then God the Lord said to Adam, "When you were under
subjection to Me, you had a bright nature within you, and
for that reason could you see things far away.
