Chapter XXX - Adam receives the first worldly goods.
1 After these things, God commanded the angel Gabriel
to go down to the garden, and say to the cherub who kept
it, "Behold, God has commanded me to come into the garden,
and to take from it sweet smelling incense, and give it to Adam."
2 Then the angel Gabriel went down by God's order to
the garden, and told the cherub as God had commanded him.
3 The cherub then said, "Well." And Gabriel went in
and took the incense.
4 Then God commanded his angel Raphael to go down to
the garden, and speak to the cherub about some myrrh, to
give to Adam.
5 And the angel Raphael went down and told the cherub
as God had commanded him, and the cherub said, "Well."
Then Raphael went in and took the myrrh.
6 The golden rods were from the Indian sea, where
there are precious stones. The incense was from the
eastern border of the garden; and the myrrh from the
western border, from where bitterness came over Adam.
7 And the angels brought these things to God, by the
Tree of Life, in the garden.
