Adam wishes to protect Eve.
Book I. Chapter XX.
-
Then Adam wept and said,
"O God, remove us to some other place, that the serpent may not
come again near us, and rise against us. Lest it find Thy
handmaid Eve alone and kill her; for its eyes are hideous and
evil."
-
But God said to Adam and Eve,
"Henceforth fear not, I will not let it come near you; I have
driven it away from you, from this mountain; neither will I leave in
it aught to hurt you."
-
Then Adam and Eve worshiped
before God and gave Him thanks, and praised Him for having delivered
them from death.
