1 Adam and Eve Chapter 16
The Conflict of Adam and Eve with Satan
1 Adam and Eve 16:1
After this, Adam and Eve continued to stand in the cave, praying and crying, until the morning dawned on them.
1 Adam and Eve 16:2
And when they saw the light returned to them, they retrained from fear, and strengthened their hearts.
1 Adam and Eve 16:3
Then Adam began to come out of the cave. And when he came to the mouth of it, and stood and turned his face towards the east, and saw the sunrise in glowing rays, and felt the heat thereof on his body, he was afraid of it, and thought in his heart that this flame came forth to plague him.
1 Adam and Eve 16:4
He then cried and beat his chest, then he fell on the ground on his face and made his request, saying:—
1 Adam and Eve 16:5
"O Lord, plague me not, neither consume me, nor yet take away my life from the earth."
1 Adam and Eve 16:6
For he thought the sun was God.
1 Adam and Eve 16:7
Because while he was in the garden and heard the voice of God and the sound He made in the garden, and feared Him, Adam never saw the brilliant light of the sun, neither did its flaming heat touch his body.
1 Adam and Eve 16:8
Therefore he was afraid of the sun when flaming rays of it reached him. He thought God meant to plague him therewith all the days He had decreed for him.
1 Adam and Eve 16:9
For Adam also said in his thoughts, as God did not plague us with darkness, behold, He has caused this sun to rise and to plague us with burning heat.
1 Adam and Eve 16:10
But while he was thinking like this in his heart, the Word of God came to him and said:—
1 Adam and Eve 16:11
"O Adam, get up on your feet. This sun is not God; but it has been created to give light by day, of which I spoke to you in the cave saying, 'that the dawn would come, and there would be light by day.'
1 Adam and Eve 16:12
But I am God who comforted you in the night."
1 Adam and Eve 16:13
And God ceased to commune with Adam.
