And Eve said to Adam: 'Live thou, my Lord, to thee life is granted, since thou hast committed neither the first nor the second error. But I have erred and been led astray for I have not kept the commandment of God; and now banish me from the light of thy life and I will go to the sunsetting,

2and there will I be, until I die.' And she began to walk towards the western parts and to mourn

3and to weep bitterly and groan aloud. And she made there a booth, while she had in her womb offspring of three months old.
