tigris

But I, my children, said to your father: 

'Arise, my husband, pray to God... 

that he deliver us from the devil... 

for you suffer so on my account.' 

But Adam said to me: 

'Eve, now you feel such remorse over your error... 

that you will listen to my heart... 

for God created you from my rib. 

We will fast for forty days... 

perhaps the Lord will pity us... 

and leave for us understanding and a portion of life.'

I said:

'My husband, you fast forty days... 

and I will fast forty-four days.' 

-

And Adam said to me: 

'Come to the river called Tigris... 

take a stone and place it under your feet... 

stand up in the water and cover yourself with water... 

as with a coat up to the neck...

and pray to God in your heart...

but no word should come out across your lips.'

And I said:

'My husband, I will call out to God with my whole heart.'

-

And Adam said to me: 

'Guard yourself carefully!

If you don't see me and all my features, don't climb up out of the water. 

Give no credence to words... 

so that you won't get into any more trouble.'
