And if You give us no order
respecting this thing, then sever Eve from me, and me from
her; and place us each far away from the other.
24 Then again, O God, if You separate us from each
other, the devils will deceive us with their apparitions
that resemble us, and destroy our hearts, and defile our
thoughts towards each other. Yet if it is not each of us
towards the other, it will, at all events, be through their
appearance when the devils come to us in our likeness."
Here Adam ended his prayer.
Chapter LXXIII - The marriage of Adam and Eve.
1 Then God considered the words of Adam that they were
true, and that he could long await His order, respecting
the counsel of Satan.
2 And God approved Adam in what he had thought
concerning this, and in the prayer he had offered in His
presence; and the Word of God came to Adam and said to him,
"O Adam, if only you had had this caution at first, before
you came out of the garden into this land!"
3 After that, God sent His angel who had brought gold,
and the angel who had brought incense, and the angel who
had brought myrrh to Adam, that they should inform him
respecting his marriage to Eve.
