FIRST BOOK OF AḎAM AND ḤAWWAH 8

1 Then Aḏam cried and said, “O Elohim, when we lived in the garden, and our hearts were lifted up, we saw the messengers that sang praises in the shamayim, but now we can’t see like we once saw. No. When we entered the cave all creation became hidden from us.”

2 Then 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 Elohim said to Aḏam, “When you were under subjection to Me, you had a bright nature within you and for that reason could you see distant things. But after you transgressed your bright nature was taken out of you and it was not left in you to see distant things, but only things near to you, as is the ability of the flesh, for it is brutish.”

3 When Aḏam and Ḥawwah had heard these words from Elohim, they went their way, praising and worshipping Him with a sorrowful heart.

4 And Elohim ceased communing with them.
