Life of Adam and Eve

Chapter 4

  1. 1 And they walked about and searched for nine days, and they found none such as they were used to have in paradise, but found only animals'
  2. 2 food. And Adam said to Eve: 'This hath the Lord provided for animals and brutes to eat;
  3. 3 but we used to have angels' food. But it is just and right that we lament before the sight of God who made us. Let us repent with a great penitence: perchance the Lord will be gracious to us and will pity us and give us a share of something for our living.'
