First Book of Adam and Eve 35
Conflict of Adam and Eve
Then God looked again at Adam and his crying and groaning, and the Word of God came to him, and said to him:—
2"O Adam, when you were in My garden, you knew neither eating nor drinking; neither faintness nor suffering; neither leanness of flesh, nor change; neither did sleep depart from thine eyes. But since you transgressed, and came into this strange land, all these trials are come over you."
