8 Then the angel went from Adam and Eve, who ate of
the figs until they had satisfied their hunger. Then they
put aside what was left; but by the power of God, the figs
became whole again, because God blessed them.
9 After this Adam and Eve got up, and prayed with a
joyful heart and renewed strength, and praised and rejoiced
abundantly the whole of that night. And this was the end
of the eighty-third day.
Chapter LXV - Adam and Eve acquire digestive organs.

1 And when it was day, they got up and prayed, after
their custom, and then went out of the cave.
2 But they became sick from the food they had eaten
because they were not used to it, so they went about in the
cave saying to each other: --
3 "What has our eating caused to happen to us, that we
should be in such pain? We are in misery, we shall die!
It would have been better for us to have died keeping our
bodies pure than to have eaten and defiled them with food."
4 Then Adam said to Eve, "This pain did not come to us
in the garden, neither did we eat such bad food there.
