Chapter LXIII - The first joy of trees.
1 But Adam and Eve, as they got closer to the cave,
saw two fig trees, covered with fruit, and overshadowing
the cave.
2 Then Adam said to Eve, "It seems to me that we have
gone the wrong way. When did these two trees grow here?
It seems to me that the enemy wishes to lead us the wrong
way. Do you suppose that there is another cave besides
this one in the earth?
3 Yet, O Eve, let us go into the cave, and find in it
the two figs; for this is our cave, in which we were. But
if we should not find the two figs in it, then it cannot be
our cave."
4 They went then into the cave, and looked into the
four corners of it, but found not the two figs.
5 And Adam cried and said to Eve, "Did we go to the
wrong cave, then, O Eve? It seems to me these two fig
trees are the two figs that were in the cave." And Eve
said, "I, for my part, do not know."
6 Then Adam stood up and prayed and said, "O God, You
commanded us to come back to the cave, to take the two figs,
and then to return to you.
