The First Book of Adam and Eve · Restored Names Edition · first paragraph
1Then came the Word of Elohim (God) to Adam, and said to him:--
2"O Adam, as to what you said, 'Bring me into a land where there is rest,' it is not another land than this, but it is the kingdom of heaven where alone there is rest.
3But you can not make your entrance into it at present; but only after your judgment is past and fulfilled.
4Then will I make you go up into the kingdom of heaven, you and your righteous descendants; and I will give you and them the rest you ask for at present.
