17 But Adam and Eve remained standing in the cave; no
consolation came to them; they divided in their thoughts.

out to seek the garden. For their hearts were towards it,
and they could get no consolation for having left it.

1 But when the crafty Satan saw them, that they were
going to the garden, he gathered together his host, and
came in appearance on a cloud, intent on deceiving them.
2 But when Adam and Eve saw him thus in a vision, they
thought they were angels of God come to comfort them about
having left the garden, or to bring them back again into it.
3 And Adam spread his hands before God, beseeching Him
to make him understand what they were.

Adam, I am an angel of the great God; and, behold the hosts
that surround me.
5 God has sent us to take you and bring you to the
border of the garden northwards; to the shore of the clear
sea, and bathe you and Eve in it, and raise you to your
former gladness, that you return again to the garden.
