"About sunset on the 53rd
day..."
Book I. Chapter LVIII.
-
Then Adam and Eve spread
their hands unto God, praying and entreating Him to drive Satan away
from them; that he do them no violence, and do not force them to deny
God.
-
Then God sent to them at once
His angel, who drove away Satan from them. This happened about
sunset, on the fifty-third day after they had come out of the garden.
-
Then Adam and Eve went into
the cave, and stood up and turned their faces to the earth, to pray to
God.
-
But ere they prayed Adam said
unto Eve, "Lo, thou hast seen what temptations have befallen us
in this land. Come, let us arise, and ask God to forgive us the
sins we have committed; and we will not come out until the end of the
day next to the fortieth. And if we die herein, He will save
us."
-
Then Adam and Eve arose, and
joined together in entreating God.
-
They abode thus praying in
the cave; neither did they come out of it, by night or by day, until
their prayers went up out of their mouths, like a flame of fire.
