before Him. He and Eve worshipped Him and gave Him thanks, because He
had dealt mercifully with them.
5 Then God commanded the three angels, Michael, Gabriel and Raphael,
each to bring what he had brought, and give it to Adam. And they did so,
one by one.
6 And God commanded Suriyel and Salathiel to bear up Adam and Eve, and
bring them down from the top of the high mountain, and to take them to the
Cave of Treasures.
7 There they laid the gold on the south side of the cave, the incense on the
eastern side, and the myrrh on the western side. For the mouth of the cave
was on the north side.
8 The angels then comforted Adam and Eve, and departed.
9 The gold was seventy rods; the incense, twelve pounds; and the myrrh,
three pounds.
10 These remained by Adam in the House of Treasures; therefore was it
called "of concealment." But other interpreters say it was called the "Cave of
Treasures," by reason of the bodies of righteous men that were in it.
11 These three things did God give to Adam, on the third day after he had
come out of the garden, in token of the three days the Lord should remain in
the heart of the earth.
12 And these three things, as they continued with Adam in the cave, gave
him light by night; and by day they gave him a little relief from his sorrow.
