Three days after Adam and Eve were punished God planted a garden East of the earth. To the north of the garden there was a pure sea. Anyone that washed themselves in the sea would be made clean and white. The souls that God really wanted will be washed in the sea to made pure of pure. To the south of the garden was good land, however God did not want to place Adam there because the wind blew from the north and Adam would smell the delicious smells coming from the garden. To the west of the garden was very broad. So God placed Adam in a rock dwelling in the west known as the Cave of Treasures below the garden. Adam and Eve visited the garden and saw that they were not coming from inside the garden and were entering a land they did not know of.

God told Adam that they will be there for five and a half days were fulfilled. Adam, not understanding God, asked for an explanation. God told Adam that it was 5000 and 500 years and someone would come get them when the time is up. Adam went walking though the garden and seen that the tree which they ate from had change in appearance. Adam, in fear, trembled as he fell down. As Adam and Eve came to the game of the garden he saw a cherub growing angry and drawing his sword of fire. Both Adam and Eve feel in fear as they thought this was a sign for death. Adam looked at the cave as a prison and remained in there, for if he left he would again be a transgressor. 

Eve watched Adam as he laid in the cave lifeless began to shake her hands to God saying "O God, forgive me my sin, the sin which I committed, and remember it not against me. For I alone caused Thy servant to fall from the garden into this lost estate". God explained to Eve that it was the serpent that changed the image of the tree to make it more appealing. He explained that they are the ones that disobeyed him and his law. But because of it, Satan no longer has a place beside God in Heaven. Adam fearing that the beast of the land would come after him prayed to God. God commanded that no beast should mess with Adam or Eve until their time in the cave is up. 

In the end, Adam prayed to God giving his leave to him. They made a covenant and God came upon Adam and blessed his loves. From that point Adam was the first offering made unto God, and so it became a custom to do so.

God's Blessing
