3 Then the Word of God came to Adam, and said to him,
"O Adam, your body has become brutish, and requires water
to drink. Take some and drink it, you and Eve, then give
thanks and praise."
4 Adam and Eve then went down to the stream and drank
from it, until their bodies felt refreshed. After having
drunk, they praised God, and then returned to their cave,
after their former custom. This happened at the end of
eighty-three days.
5 Then on the eighty-fourth day, they took the two
figs and hung them in the cave, together with the leaves
thereof, to be to them a sign and a blessing from God. And
they placed them there so that if their descendants came
there, they would see the wonderful things God had done for
them.
6 Then Adam and Eve again stood outside the cave, and
asked God to show them some food with which they could
nourish their bodies.
7 Then the Word of God came and said to him, "O Adam,
go down to the westward of the cave until you come to a
land of dark soil, and there you shall find food."
8 And Adam obeyed the Word of God, took Eve, and went
down to a land of dark soil, and found there wheat* growing
in the ear and ripe, and figs to eat; and Adam rejoiced
over it.
