And they kept looking, He
and Eve, towards the cave, and at the fire that flared up
around it.
14 But that fire was from Satan. For he had gathered
trees and dry grasses, and had carried and brought them to
the cave, and had set fire to them, in order to consume the
cave and what was in it.
15 So that Adam and Eve should be left in sorrow, and
he should cut off their trust in God, and make them deny
Him.
16 But by the mercy of God he could not burn the cave,
for God sent His angel around the cave to guard it from
such a fire, until it went out.
17 And this fire lasted from noon-day until the break
of day. That was the forty-fifth day.
Chapter XLIV - The power of fire over man.
1 Yet Adam and Eve were standing and looking at the fire,
and unable to come near the cave from their dread of the fire.
2 And Satan kept on bringing trees and throwing them
into the fire, until the flames of the fire rose up on
high, and covered the whole cave, thinking, as he did in
his own mind, to consume the cave with much fire.
