9 For so long as we were in the garden, we neither saw
nor even knew what darkness is. I was not hidden from Eve,
neither was she hidden from me, until now that she cannot
see me; and no darkness came over us to separate us from
each other.
10 But she and I were both in one bright light. I saw
her and she saw me. Yet now since we came into this cave,
darkness has covered us, and separated us from each other,
so that I do not see her, and she does not see me.
11 O Lord, will You then plague us with this darkness?"
Chapter XIII - The fall of Adam. Why night and day were created.
1 Then when God, who is merciful and full of pity,
heard Adam's voice, He said to him: --
2 "O Adam, so long as the good angel was obedient to
Me, a bright light rested on him and on his hosts.
3 But when he transgressed My commandment, I deprived
him of that bright nature, and he became dark.
4 And when he was in the heavens, in the realms of light,
he knew nothing of darkness.
5 But he transgressed, and I made him fall from the heaven
onto the earth; and it was this darkness that came over him.
