FIRST BOOK OF AḎAM AND ḤAWWAH 19

1 But Aḏam and Ḥawwah cried before Elohim. And Aḏam said to Him:

2 “O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, when I was in the cave I said this to You, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, the beasts of the field would rise and devour me and cut off my life from the earth.”

3 Then Aḏam, because of what had happened to him, beat his chest and fell on the ground like a corpse. Then the Word of Elohim came to him, who raised him, and said to him,

4 “O Aḏam, not one of these beasts will be able to hurt you because I have made the beasts and other moving things come to you in the cave. I did not let the serpent come with them because it might have risen against you and made you tremble and the fear of it should fall into your hearts.

5 I knew that the accursed one is wicked; therefore I would not let it come near you with the other beasts.

6 But now strengthen your heart and fear not. I am with you to the end of the days I have determined for you.”
