Chapter XXXV - God's reply.
1 Then God looked again at Adam and his crying and groaning,
and the Word of God came to him, and said to him: --
2 "O Adam, when you were in My garden, you knew
neither eating nor drinking; neither faintness nor
suffering; neither leanness of flesh, nor change; neither
did sleep depart from thine eyes. But since you
transgressed, and came into this strange land, all these
trials are come over you."
Chapter XXXVI - Figs.
1 Then God commanded the cherub, who kept the gate of
the garden with a sword of fire in his hand, to take some
of the fruit of the fig-tree, and to give it to Adam.
2 The cherub obeyed the command of the Lord God, and
went into the garden and brought two figs on two twigs,
each fig hanging to its leaf; they were from two of the
trees among which Adam and Eve hid themselves when God went
to walk in the garden, and the Word of God came to Adam and
Eve and said to them, "Adam, Adam, where are you?"
3 And Adam answered, "O God, here I am. When I heard the sound
of You and Your voice, I hid myself, because I am naked.
