Do
you think, O Eve, that God will plague us through the food
that is in us, or that our innards will come out; or that
God means to kill us with this pain before He has fulfilled
His promise to us?"
5 Then Adam besought the Lord and said, "O Lord, let
us not perish through the food we have eaten. O Lord,
don't punish us; but deal with us according to Your great
mercy, and forsake us not until the day of the promise You
have made us."
6 Then God looked at them, and then fitted them for
eating food at once; as to this day; so that they should
not perish.
7 Then Adam and Eve came back into the cave sorrowful
and crying because of the alteration of their bodies.
And they both knew from that hour that they were altered
beings, that all hope of returning to the garden was now
lost; and that they could not enter it.
8 For that now their bodies had strange functions; and
all flesh that requires food and drink for its existence,
cannot be in the garden.
9 Then Adam said to Eve, "Behold, our hope is now
lost; and so is our trust to enter the garden.
