"
3 Thus did Adam and Eve restrain themselves, and did
not eat of these figs.
4 But Adam began to pray to God and to beseech Him to
give him of the fruit of the Tree of Life, saying thus: "O
God, when we transgressed Your commandment at the sixth
hour of Friday, we were stripped of the bright nature we
had, and did not continue in the garden after our
transgression, more than three hours.
5 But in the evening You made us come out of it. O
God, we transgressed against You one hour, and all these
trials and sorrows have come over us until this day.
6 And those days together with this the forty-third
day, do not redeem that one hour in which we transgressed!
7 O God, look at us with an eye of pity, and do not
avenge us according to our transgression of Your
commandment, in Your presence.
8 O God, give us of the fruit of the Tree of Life,
that we may eat of it, and live, and turn not to see
sufferings and other trouble, in this earth; for You are God.
9 When we transgressed Your commandment, You made us
come out of the garden, and sent a cherub to keep the Tree
of Life, lest we should eat thereof, and live; and know
nothing of faintness after we transgressed.
