And so it was by God's order.
8 But when the rock fell, the whole earth quaked with
it**, and was shaken from the size of the rock.
9 And as it quaked and shook, Adam and Eve awoke from
sleep, and found themselves under a dome of rock. But they
didn't know what had happened; because when the fell asleep
they were under the sky, and not under a dome; and when
they saw it, they were afraid.
10 Then Adam said to Eve, "Wherefore has the mountain
bent itself, and the earth quaked and shaken on our account?
And why has this rock spread itself over us like a tent?
11 Does God intend to plague us and to shut us up in
this prison? Or will He close the earth over us?
12 He is angry with us for our having come out of the
cave, without His order; and for our having done so of our
own accord, without consulting Him, when we left the cave
and came to this place."
13 Then Eve said, "If, indeed, the earth quaked for
our sake, and this rock forms a tent over us because of our
transgression, then we will be sorry, O Adam, because our
punishment will be long.
