18 And Adam and Eve stood praying until the darkness
of night came over them, and Adam was hid from Eve, and she
from him.
19 And they remained standing in prayer.
Chapter XXVII - The second tempting of Adam and Eve.
The devil takes on the form of a beguiling light.
1 When Satan, the hater of all good, saw how they
continued in prayer, and how God communed with them, and
comforted them, and how He had accepted their offering --
Satan made an apparition.
2 He began with transforming his hosts; in his hands
was a flashing fire, and they were in a great light.
3 He then placed his throne near the mouth of the cave
because he could not enter into it by reason of their prayers.
And he shed light into the cave, until the cave glistened over
Adam and Eve; while his hosts began to sing praises.
4 And Satan did this, in order that when Adam saw the
light, he should think within himself that it was a
heavenly light, and that Satan's hosts were angels; and
that God had sent them to watch at the cave, and to give
him light in the darkness.
