The First Book of Adam and Eve · Restored Names Edition · first paragraph

1Then Adam and Eve were afraid, and stood still. And Adam said to Eve, "What is that fire by our cave? We have done nothing in it to cause this fire.

2We neither have bread to bake therein, nor broth to cook there. As to this fire, we have never known anything like it, neither do we know what to call it.

3But ever since Elohim (God) sent the cherub with a sword of fire that flashed and lightened in his hand, from fear of which we fell down and were like corpses, have we not seen the like.

4But now, O Eve, behold, this is the same fire that was in the cherub's hand, which Elohim (God) has sent to keep the cave in which we live.

5O Eve, it is because Elohim (God) is angry with us, and will drive us from it.

6O Eve, we have again transgressed His commandment in that cave, so that He had sent this fire to burn around it, and to prevent us from going into it.

That is the first paragraph of The First Book of Adam and Eve 43
