2 And He said to them, "You must now go into the cave
and eat the figs, and satisfy your hunger, or else you will die."
3 So, as God commanded them, they went into the cave
about sunset. And Adam and Eve stood up and prayed during
the setting sun.
4 Then they sat down to eat the figs; but they knew
not how to eat them; for they were not accustomed to eat
earthly food. They were afraid that if they ate, their
stomach would be burdened and their flesh thickened, and
their hearts would take to liking earthly food.
5 But while they were thus seated, God, out of pity
for them, sent them His angel, so they wouldn't perish of
hunger and thirst.
6 And the angel said to Adam and Eve, "God says to you
that you do not have the strength that would be required to
fast until death; eat, therefore, and strengthen your
bodies; for you are now animal flesh and cannot subsist
without food and drink."
7 Then Adam and Eve took the figs and began to eat of
them. But God had put into them a mixture as of savory
bread and blood.
