29.1 When the Lord had said these things he ordered us to be cast out of paradise.29.2 But your father Adam wept before the angels opposite paradise and the angels said to him: "What would you have us to do, Adam?"29.3 And your father said to them, "Behold, you cast me out. I pray you, allow me to take away fragrant herbs from paradise, so that I may offer an offering to God after I have gone out of paradise that he hear me."29.4 And the angels approached God and said: "JAEL, Eternal King, command, my Lord, that there be given to Adam incense of sweet odor from paradise."29.5 And God commanded it to be so for Adam that he might take sweet spices and seeds for his food.29.6 And as the angels let him go he took four kinds: crocus and nard and calamus and cinnamon and the other seeds for his food: and, after taking these, he went out of paradise. And we were on the earth.
