Chapter XXVI - A beautiful prophecy of eternal life and joy
(v. 15). The fall of night.
1 Then Adam took Eve, and they began to return to the
Cave of Treasures where they lived. But when they got
closer to it and saw it from a distance, heavy sorrow fell
on Adam and Eve when they looked at it.
2 Then Adam said to Eve, "When we were on the mountain
we were comforted by the Word of God that conversed with
us; and the light that came from the east shown over us.
3 But now the Word of God is hidden from us; and the
light that shown over us is so changed as to disappear, and
let darkness and sorrow come over us.
4 And we are forced to enter this cave which is like a
prison, in which darkness covers us, so that we are
separated from each other; and you can not see me, neither
can I see you."
5 When Adam had said these words, they cried and
spread their hands before God; for they were full of
sorrow.
6 And they prayed to God to bring the sun to them, to
shine on them, so that darkness would not return to them,
and that they wouldn't have to go under this covering of
rock.
