The Cave of Treasures 8
The Making of Eve
God cast a sleep upon Adam, took a rib from the loins on his right side, and made Kháwá, or Eve, from it.
1nd God cast a sleep upon Adam and he slept. And God took a rib from the loins on the right side of Adam, and He made Kháwá (i.e. Eve) from it; and when Adam woke up, and saw Eve, he rejoiced in her greatly. And Adam and Eve were in Paradise, and clothed with glory and shining with praise for three hours.
2 Now this Paradise was situated on a high range of hills, and it was thirty spans—according to the measurement of the spirit—higher than all the high mountains, and it surrounded the whole earth. Now Moses the prophet said that God planted Paradise in Eden and placed Adam there (Gen. ii. 8).
