"
7 Then God said to Adam, "See, that is the father of
evil arts, who brought you and Eve out of the Garden of
Delights. And now, indeed, when he saw that you and Eve
both joined together in fasting and praying, and that you
came not out of the cave before the end of the forty days,
he wished to make your purpose vein, to break your mutual
bond; to cut off all hope from you, and to drive you to
some place where he might destroy you.
8 Because he couldn't do anything to you unless he
showed himself in the likeness of you.
9 Therefore he came to you with a face like your own,
and began to give you tokens as if they were all true.
10 But because I am merciful and am favorable to you,
I did not allow him to destroy you; instead I drove him
away from you.
11 Now, therefore, O Adam, take Eve, and return to
your cave, and remain in it until the morning after the
fortieth day. And when you come out, go towards the
eastern gate of the garden."
12 Then Adam and Eve worshipped God, and praised and
blessed Him for the deliverance that had come to them from
Him.
