Chapter XII - How darkness came between Adam and Eve.
1 Then Adam beat his chest, he and Eve, and they
mourned the whole night until the crack of dawn, and they
sighed over the length of the night in Miyazia.
2 And Adam beat himself, and threw himself on the
ground in the cave, from bitter grief, and because of the
darkness, and lay there as dead.
3 But Eve heard the noise he made in falling on the
ground. And she felt about for him with her hands, and
found him like a corpse.
4 Then she was afraid, speechless, and remained by him.
5 But the merciful Lord looked on the death of Adam,
and on Eve's silence from fear of the darkness.
6 And the Word of God came to Adam and raised him from
his death, and opened Eve's mouth that she might speak.
7 Then Adam stood up in the cave and said, "O God, why
has light departed from us, and darkness covered us? Why
did you leave us in this long darkness? Why do you plague
us like this?
8 And this darkness, O Lord, where was it before it covered us?
It is because of this that we cannot see each other.
