12 But God looked at him and at his misery, and at his
being about to breathe his last. And the Word of God came
from heaven, raised him out of the water, and said to him,
"Go up the high bank to Eve." And when he came up to Eve
he said to her, "Who told you to come here?"
13 Then she told him the discourse of the angel who
had appeared to her and had given her a sign.
14 But Adam grieved, and gave her to know it was Satan.
He then took her and they both returned to the cave.
15 These things happened to them the second time they
went down to the water, seven days after their coming out
of the garden.
16 They fasted in the water thirty-five days;
altogether forty-two days since they had left the garden.
Chapter XXXIV - Adam recalls the creation of Eve.
He eloquently appeals for food and drink.
1 And on the morning of the forty-third day, they came
out of the cave, sorrowful and crying. Their bodies were
lean, and they were parched from hunger and thirst, from
fasting and praying, and from their heavy sorrow on account
of their transgression.
