8 But now that He has brought us out into another
land, who knows what may happen in it? And who knows but
that the darkness of that land may be far greater than the
darkness of this land?
9 Who knows what may happen in that land by day or by
night? And who knows whether it will be far or near, O Eve?
Where it will please God to put us, may be far from the
garden, O Eve? Or where God will prevent us from beholding
Him, because we have transgressed His commandment, and
because we have made requests of Him at all times?
10 O Eve, if God will bring us into a strange land
other than this, in which we find consolation, it must be
to put our souls to death, and blot out our name from the
face of the earth.
11 O Eve, if we are further alienated from the garden
and from God, where shall we find Him again, and ask Him to
give us gold, incense, myrrh, and some fruit of the fig-tree?
12 Where shall we find Him, to comfort us a second
time? Where shall we find Him, that He may think of us, as
regards the covenant He has made on our behalf?"
13 Then Adam said no more.
