5 Then Adam said to Eve, "If you saw what I did, don't
tell anyone; for I sinned against God in swearing by His
great name, and I have placed my hand another time into
that of Satan." Eve, then, held her peace, as Adam told
her.
6 Then Adam got up, and spread his hands before God,
beseeching and entreating Him with tears, to forgive him
what he had done. And Adam remained thus standing and
praying forty days and forty nights. He neither ate nor
drank until he dropped down on the ground from hunger and
thirst.
7 Then God sent His Word to Adam, who raised him up
from where he lay, and said to him, "O Adam, why have you
sworn by My name, and why have you made agreement with
Satan another time?"
8 But Adam cried, and said, "O God, forgive me, for I
did this unwittingly; believing they were God's angels."
9 And God forgave Adam, saying to him, "Beware of
Satan."
10 And He withdrew His Word from Adam.
11 Then Adam's heart was comforted; and he took Eve,
and they went out of the cave, to prepare some food for
their bodies.
