Excerpt
Excerpt: When they were driven out from paradise, they made themselves a booth, and spent seven days mourning and lamenting in great grief. // ii. 1 But after seven days, they began to be hungry and started to look for victual to eat, and they found it not. Then Eve said to Adam: ?My lord, I am hungry. Go, look for (something) for us to eat. Perchance the Lord God will look back and pity us and recall us to the place, in which we were before.? // iii. And Adam arose and walked seven days over all that land, and found no victual such as they 2 used to have in paradise. And Eve said to Adam: Wilt thou slay me? that I may die, and perchance God the Lord will bring thee into paradise, for on my account hast thou been driven thence 3 Adam answered: ?Forbear, Eve, from such words, that peradventure God bring not some other curse upon us. How is it possible that I should stretch forth my hand against my own flesh? Nay, let us arise and look for something for us to live on, that we fail not.?
