My LORD’s BibleThe Book of the Cave of Treasures 11
1At the third hour of the day Adam and Eve ascended into Paradise, and for three hours they enjoyed the good things thereof; for three hours they were in shame and disgrace, and at the ninth hour their expulsion from Paradise took place. And as they were going forth sorrowfully, God spake unto Adam, and heartened him, and said unto him, “ Be not sorrowful, O Adam, for I will restore unto thee thine inheritance. Behold, see how greatly I have loved thee, for though I have cursed the earth for thy sake, yet have I withdrawn thee from the operation of the curse. As for the serpent, in the land which is under the curse, behold, I will send my Son. And He shall go down [from heaven] for thy redemption, and He shall sojourn in a Virgin, and shall put on a body [of flesh], and through Him redemption and a return shall be effected for thee. But command thy sons, and order them to embalm thy body after thy death with myrrh, cassia, and stakte. And they shall place thee in this cave, wherein I am making you to dwell this day, until the time when your expulsion shall take place from the regions of Paradise to that earth which is outside it. And whosoever shall be left in those days shall take thy body with him, and shall deposit it on the spot which I shall show him, in the centre of the earth; for in that place shall redemption be effected for thee and for all thy children.’’ And God revealed unto Adam everything which the Son would suffer on behalf of him.
3And Adam and Eve went downin....... of spirit over the mountains of Paradise, and they found a cave in the top of the mountain, and they entered and hid themselves therein.
4Now Adam and Eve were virgins, and Adam wished to know Eve his wife. And Adam took from the skirts of the mountain of Paradise, gold, and myrrh, and frankincense, and he placed them in the cave, and he blessed the cave, and consecrated it that it might be the house of prayer for himself and his sons. And he called the cave ‘ ME‘ARATH Gazzfi”’ (i.e. ‘CAVE OF TREASURES ’’).
5So Adam and Eve went down from that holy mountain [of Eden] to the slopes which were below it, and there Adam knew Eve his wife. And Eve conceived and brought forth Cain and Lebhtidha, his sister, with him; and Eve conceived again and she brought forth Habhil (Abel) and Kelimath, his sister, with him. And when the children grew up, Adam said unto Eve, ‘“ Let Cain take to wife Kelimath, who was brought forth with Abel, and let Abel take to wife Lebhtidha, who was brought forth with Cain.’’ And Cain said unto Eve his mother, “I will take to wife my twin sister Lebhtidha, and let Abel take to wife his twin sister Kelimath ’’; now Lebhtdha was beautiful. When Adam heard these words, which were exceedingly displeasing unto him, he said, “ It will be a transgression of the commandment for’ thee to take [to wife] thy sister, who was born with thee. Nevertheless, take ye to yourselves fruits of trees, and the young of sheep, and get ye up to the top of this holy mountain. Then go ye into the Cave of Treasures, and offer ye up your offerings, and make your prayers, and then ye shall consort with your wives.’’ And it came to pass that when, Adam, the first priest, and Cain and Abel, his sons, were going up to the top of the mountain, Satan entered into Cain [and persuaded him] to kill Abel, his brother, because of Lebhidha; and because his offering was rejected and was not accepted before God, whilst the offering of Abel was accepted, Cain’s jealousy of his brother Abel was increased. And when they came down to the plain, Cain rose up against his brother Abel, and he killed him with a blow from a stone of flint. Then straightway Cain received the doom of death, instead of curses, and he became a fugitive and a wanderer all the days of his life. And God drove him forth into exile in a certain part of the forest of Nédh, and Cain took to wife his twin sister and made the place of his abode there.
