Apocalypse of Moses

27.1 After saying these things he commanded the angels to cast us out of paradise:27.2 and as we were being driven out amid our loud lamentations, your father Adam besought the angels and said: "Leave me a little (space) that I may entreat the Lord that he have compassion on me and pity me, for I only have sinned."27.3 And they left off driving him and Adam cried aloud and wept saying: "Pardon me, O Lord, my deed."27.4 Then the Lord said to the angels, "Why have you ceased from driving Adam from paradise? Is it I who have done wrong? Or have I judged badly? "27.5 Then the angels fell down on the ground and worshipped the Lord saying, "You are just, O Lord, and you judge righteously ."28.1 But the Lord turned to Adam and said: "I will not suffer you henceforward to be in paradise."28.2 And Adam answered and said, "Grant me, O Lord, of the Tree of Life that I may eat of it, before I be cast out."28.3 Then the Lord said to Adam, "You shall not take of it now, for the cherubim with the flaming sword that turns (every way) has been stationed to guard it from you that you taste not of it and lived without death forever;28.4 but you have the war which the adversary has put into you; yet when you have gone out of paradise, if you keep yourself from all evil, as one wishing to die, when again the Resurrection has come to pass, I will raise you up and then there shall be given to you from the Tree of Life and you will be without death forever."
