After the sun had set, they went
out of it. This was the forty-seventh day after they came
out of the garden.
5 Adam and Eve then came under the top of hill by the
garden to sleep, as they were accustomed.
6 And they stood and prayed God to forgive them their
sins, and then fell asleep under the summit of the
mountain.
7 But Satan, the hater of all good, thought within
himself: "Whereas God has promised salvation to Adam by
covenant, and that He would deliver him out of all the
hardships that have befallen him -- but has not promised me
by covenant, and will not deliver me out of my hardships;
no, since He has promised him that He should make him and
his descendants live in the kingdom in which I once was --
I will kill Adam.
8 The earth shall be rid of him; and shall be left to
me alone; so that when he is dead he may not have any
descendants left to inherit the kingdom that shall remain
my own realm; God will then be wanting me, and He will
restore it to me and my hosts."
