39. 1  
THEN 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."
39. 2  
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.
39. 3  
But Adam said to Eve, "I am afraid to eat of this fig. I know not what may come upon me from it."
39. 4  
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?"
39. 5  
And he said again, "I am afraid to eat of it; for I know not what will befall me through it."
