.. the rock under you to lower itself".
Chapter XLIX - The first prophecy of the Resurrection.
1 Then the Word of God came and said: --
2 "O Adam, who counselled you, when you came out of
the cave, to come to this place?"
3 And Adam said to God, "O Lord, we came to this place
because of the heat of the fire, that came over us inside
the cave."
4 Then the Lord God said to Adam, "O Adam, you dread
the heat of fire for one night, but how will it be when you
live in hell?
5 Yet, O Adam, don't be afraid, and don't believe that I have
placed this dome of rock over you to plague you with it.
6 It came from Satan, who had promised you the Godhead
and majesty. It is he who threw down this rock to kill you
under it, and Eve with you, and thus to prevent you from
living on the earth.
7 But, in mercy for you, just as that rock was falling
down on you, I commanded it to form an dome over you; and
the rock under you to lower itself.
8 And this sign, O Adam, will happen to Me at My
coming on earth: Satan will raise the people of the Jews to
put Me to death; and they will lay Me in a rock, and seal a
large stone over Me, and I shall remain within that rock
three days and three nights.
