6 And on you, O Adam, while in My garden and obedient
to Me, did that bright light rest also.
7 But when I heard of your transgression, I deprived you
of that bright light. Yet, of My mercy, I did not turn
you into darkness, but I made you your body of flesh,
over which I spread this skin, in order that it may bear
cold and heat.
8 If I had let My wrath fall heavily on you, I should
have destroyed you; and had I turned you into darkness, it
would have been as if I had killed you.
9 But in My mercy, I have made you as you are; when
you transgressed My commandment, O Adam, I drove you from
the garden, and made you come forth into this land; and
commanded you to live in this cave; and darkness covered
you, as it did over him who transgressed My commandment.
10 Thus, O Adam, has this night deceived you. It is
not to last forever; but is only of twelve hours; when it
is over, daylight will return.
11 Sigh not, therefore, neither be moved; and say not
in your heart that this darkness is long and drags on wearily;
and say not in your heart that I plague you with it.
