eturned to their cave, after their former custom. This happened
at the end of eighty-three days.

5 Then on the eighty-fourth day, they took the two figs and hung them
in the cave, together with the leaves thereof, to be to them a sign and
a blessing from God. And they placed them there so that if their
descendants came there, they would see the wonderful things God had
done for them.

6 Then Adam and Eve again stood outside the cave, and asked God to show
them some food with which they could nourish their bodies.

7 Then the Word of God came and said to him, "O Adam, go down to the
westward of the cave until you come to a land of dark soil, and there
you shall find food."

8 And Adam obeyed the Word of God, took Eve, and went down to a land of
dark soil, and found there wheat* growing in the ear and ripe, and figs

9 Then the Word of God came again to Adam, and said to him, "Take some

* In this book, the terms 'corn' and 'wheat' are used interchangeably.
The reference is possibly used to indicate a type of ancient grain
resembling Egyptian Corn also known as Durra. Durra is a wheat-like
cereal grain frequently cultivated in dry regions such as Egypt.

1 When Adam and Eve went down to the land of black mud and came near to
the wheat God had showed them and saw that it was ripe and ready for
reaping, they did not have a sickle to reap it with. So they readied
themselves, and began to pull up the wheat by hand, until it was all
done.

2 Then they heaped it into a pile; and, faint from heat and from
thirst, they went under a shady tree, where the breeze fanned them to
sleep.

3 But Satan saw what Adam and Eve had done. And he called his hosts,
and said to them, "Since God has shown to Adam and Eve all about this
wheat, wherewith to strengthen their bodies--and, look, they have come
and made a big pile of it, and faint from the toil are now
asleep--come, let us set fire to this heap of corn, and burn it, and
let us take that bottl
