"First Book of Adam and Eve"


18 And this took place at the end of the twelfth day
after the eightieth day, from the time Adam and Eve came
out of the garden.
19 And they stood up the whole night praying until
morning; and then went out of the cave.
20 Then Adam said to Eve, with joy of heart, because
of the offering they had made to God, and that had been
accepted of Him, "Let us do this three times every week, on
the fourth day Wednesday, on the preparation day Friday,
and on the Sabbath Sunday, all the days of our life."
21 And as they agreed to these words between
themselves, God was pleased with their thoughts, and with
the resolution they had each taken with the other.
22 After this, came the Word of God to Adam, and said,
"O Adam, you have determined beforehand the days in which
sufferings shall come over Me, when I am made flesh; for
they are the fourth Wednesday, and the preparation day
Friday.
23 But as to the first day, I created in it all
things, and I raised the heavens. And, again, through My
rising again on this day, will I create joy, and raise them
on high, who believe in Me; O Adam, offer this offering,
all the days of your life.
