1 After this Satan called to his hosts, all of which
came to him, and said to him: --
2 "O, our lord, what will you do?"
3 He then said to them, "You know that this Adam, whom
God created out of the dust, is the one who has taken our
kingdom, come, let us gather together and kill him; or hurl
a rock at him and at Eve, and crush them under it."
4 When Satan's hosts heard these words, they came to
the part of the mountain where Adam and Eve were asleep.
5 Then Satan and his host took a huge rock, broad and
even, and without blemish, thinking within himself, "If
there should be a hole in the rock, when it fell on them,
the hole in the rock might come over them, and so they
would escape and not die."
6 He then said to his hosts, "Take up this stone, and
throw it flat on them, so that it doesn't roll off them to
somewhere else. And when you have hurled it, get away from
there quickly."
7 And they did as he told them. But as the rock fell
down from the mountain toward Adam and Eve, God commanded
the rock to become a dome over them*, that did them no
harm.
