4 And when the day dawned, Adam said to Eve, "Come!
Let us go and do some work for our bodies."
5 So they went out of the cave, and came to the
northern border of the garden, and they looked for
something to cover their bodies with*. But they found
nothing, and knew not how to do the work. Yet their bodies
were stained, and they were speechless from cold and heat.
6 Then Adam stood and asked God to show him something
with which to cover their bodies.
7 Then came the Word of God and said to him, "O Adam,
take Eve and come to the seashore where you fasted before.
There you will find skins of sheep that were left after
lions ate the carcasses. Take them and make garments for
yourselves, and clothe yourselves with them.
* Chapter XLVI, verse 1, says "Satan blew into the
fire ... so that their bodies were singed". At this time,
the garments that the Lord had given them in Genesis 3:21
were burned off so that Adam and Eve were again naked.
Chapter LI - "What is his beauty that you should have
followed him?"
1 When Adam heard these words from God, he took Eve
and went from the northern end of the garden to the south
of it, by the river of water where they once fasted.
