5 So that when Adam came out of the cave and saw them,
and Adam and Eve bowed to Satan, then he would overcome
Adam thereby, and a second time humble him before God.
6 When, therefore, Adam and Eve saw the light,
fancying it was real, they strengthened their hearts; yet,
as they were trembling, Adam said to Eve: --
7 "Look at that great light, and at those many songs
of praise, and at that host standing outside who won't come
into our cave. Why don't they tell us what they want,
where they are from, what the meaning of this light is,
what those praises are, why they have been sent to this
place, and why they won't come in?
8 If they were from God, they would come into the cave
with us, and would tell us why they were sent."
9 Then Adam stood up and prayed to God with a burning
heart, and said: --
10 "O Lord, is there in the world another god besides
You, who created angels and filled them with light, and
sent them to keep us, who would come with them?
11 But, look, we see these hosts that stand at the
mouth of the cave; they are in a great light; they sing
loud praises.
