Platt, Jr., [1926]\nAdam is cautious--but too late.\nTHEN Adam returned to Eve, and said to her, \"Arise, and take a fig for thyself, and I will take another; and let us go to our cave.\"\n2 Then Adam and Eve took each a fig and went towards the cave; the time was about the setting of the sun; and their thoughts made them long to eat of the fruit.\n3 But Adam said to Eve, \"I am afraid to eat of this fig. I know not what may come upon me from it.\"\n4 So Adam wept, and stood praying before God, saying, \"Satisfy my hunger, without my having to eat this fig; for after I have eaten it, what will it profit me? And what shall I desire and ask of Thee, O God, when it is gone?\"\n5 And he said again, \"I am afraid to eat of it; for I know not what will befall me through it.\"","title":"The Forgotten Books of Eden: The First Book of Adam and Eve: Chapter XXXIX","type":"page"}
