"
18 Then Eve said, "What is that matter, O Adam?"
19 And he answered her, "That I may request the Lord
to inform me about marrying you; for I will not do it
without His permission or else He will make us perish, you
and me. For those devils have set my heart on fire, with
thoughts of what they showed us, in their sinful
apparitions.
20 Then Eve said to Adam, "Why need we go below the
mountain? Let us rather stand up and pray in our cave to
God, to let us know whether this counsel is good or not."
21 Then Adam rose up in prayer and said, "O God, you
know that we transgressed against you, and from the moment
we transgressed, we were stripped of our bright nature; and
our body became brutish, requiring food and drink; and with
animal desires.
22 Command us, O God, not to give way to them without
Your permission, for fear that You will turn us into
nothing. Because if you do not give us permission, we
shall be overpowered, and follow that advice of Satan; and
You will again make us perish.
23 If not, then take our souls from us; let us be rid
of this animal lust.
