From the abundance of his unnumbered thoughts in his heart—like unnumbered raindrops—such are the thoughts of Adam." 4"But your thought is only one. As you are not fleshly, you have no other thought." 5"But you dwelled in the mind of the snake; in evil treachery, you destroyed Adam, who was a single body. Eve heard the words of the snake, and having heard, she did as she was commanded." 6"After she ate the fig fruit, she came and misled the Lord’s first creation, Adam. She brought death upon him and upon her children because she broke her Creator’s Command." 7"They were sent out from the Garden by the Lord’s true Judgment. He comforted them in the land where they were sent through the children born of their nature and by the crops found in the earth; yet He did not end the quarrel with the Garden." 8"When you expelled them directly from the Garden, so that they might plant plants and raise children to be comforted—renewing their reasoning in the fruit of the earth that the earth prepared—and that they might be comforted by the fruit of the earth and the fruit of the Garden which the Lord gave them..." 9"...the Lord gave them trees more green than the trees of the Garden. Eve and Adam—whom you sent away from the Garden when they ate from it—were fully comforted from their sadness." 10"As the Lord knows how to comfort His creation, their minds were calmed because of their children and the crops found from the earth." 11"Although they were sent to this world that grows nettles and thorns, they strengthened their minds through water and grain." ‹Previous chapter3 Meqabyan 2Next chapter3 Meqabyan 4›Similar passagesBy tradition and source labelFind similarCompare selectedCompare with similarAsk Deep ThoughtSelect passages to search for parallels.Tap any verse to select it, then compare selected passages or ask Deep Thought.
