Death of Adam
Chapter
21

30.1 Now then, my children, I have shown you the way in which we were deceived; and do guard yourselves from transgressing against the good."31.1 And when Eve had said this in the midst of her sons, while Adam was lying ill and had one more day from the sickness (prior to) his going from his body.31.2 Eve said to Adam: "How is it that you die and I live or how long have I to live after you are dead? Tell me."31.3 And Adam said to her: "Give no thought to this, for you will not tarry long after me, but both of us are to die together. And (as to) this one he shall set (her) in my place. But when I die, anoint me and let no man touch me till the angel shall says something concerning me.31.4 For God will not forget me, but will seek the vessel he made. Now, arise, and pray to God until I give up my soul, which he gave me, into His hands. For we know not how we are to meet our Maker, whether He will be angry with us, or will turn to show mercy on us."
