1 Then Aḏam returned to Ḥawwah and said to her, \"Get up, and take a fig for yourself, and I will take the other; and let us go to our cave.\"
2 Then Aḏam and Ḥawwah each took a fig and went toward the cave. The time was about the setting of the sun and their thoughts made them long to eat of the fruit.
3 But Aḏam said to Ḥawwah, \"I am afraid to eat of this fig. I do not know what may come over me from it.\"
4 So Aḏam cried and stood praying before Elohim saying, \"Satisfy my hunger, without my having to eat this fig because after I have eaten it, what will it profit me? And what shall I desire and ask of you, O Elohim, when it is gone?\"
5 And he said again, \"I am afraid to eat of it; for I do not know what will befall me through it.\"
